Pros

Not many anymore, but the facilities are still amazing.

Cons

It was a really great place to work up until about 2021 when things started to nosedive. I blame most of this on the former CEO John Donahoe and his reliance on McKinsey consulting. They really tanked Nike by firing all of the experienced people who had been there a long time and thus were expensive. They are trying to dig out with Elliot at the helm, but the people are gone and the damage is done.

Advice to Management

Trust the people in the company, not external consultants.
