Pros

Discounted product, access to great speaking events, state of the art training facilities, beautiful campus. Great projects if you can stay away from speeding trains/buses, and getting thrown underneath them.

Cons

Youth culture - if you're over 30, people try to act like they're 22. Only athletic white males rise to leadership. Very political - difficult personalities and unclear routes of mobility. Cutthroat, and seduces people with the lure of the brand and offer sub-market salaries. Work-life balance varies by team. Management can allow or deny flex-schedules and telecommuting, as they deem appropriate. Healthcare coverage average - even on premier plans, expect A LOT of co-pays and co-insurance. NIKE is self-insured as their employees are "generally" healthier than other companies. Remember, people under 30 generally don't get sick outside of ACL/sports-related injuries. Looks great on the resume but be prepared to have to fight tooth-and-nail to stay relevant. Not for the faint of heart or over 30 crowd.

Great for full-time, contract is a joke

Pros

Work perks are material (free clothes samples, free food, beer, etc) but very limited if you're a contractor. Your manager will indicate how much freedom you have.

Cons

I started out feeling not much different than a full timer, but the longer I was there, the more perks and even basic freedoms were taken away. My manager often accused me of not working, despite me putting in more hours/being more productive than almost all the full time employees in my office. They were almost never there themselves, and it was clear the bottom line was all that mattered. I was also cheated out of working hours based on my manager's personal preferences, aka not being allowed to show up to the office before they did. Also, they will grossly under pay you because they know you'll stick around and hope for full time. I would never put up with 99% of the things I experienced here if it were another company. I am trying to leave now, because I know I'm worth more than what they pay me. This is from someone with a fine arts degree from one of the top schools in the nation.

Pros

Great Benefits! 401k match, stock purchase program, list goes on...

Cons

They expect you to work 60+ hours a week. If you are work in IT...don't come here!! They have no direction, they say they are progressive and they are not. I wish they were agile, but politics hold them up on everything. They have no good senior IT leads because everyone good leaves because they can't get anything implemented. The systems are so scattered, they would rather say they got something done by a date then give a care on how well it was implemented.
