• Many folks have worked decades at Nike and have lost their competitive knowledge edge.
• I walked in passionate and will be leaving the company depleted. There’s not a lot to learn here, top heavy, over-complicated “matrix.”
• Forced relocation can be hard if you’re moving from a big city. Portland is small and even smaller with the volume of Nike employees everywhere.
Overall if you want to feel comfortable and your life priority is work/life balance at a less competitive salary, this is the place for you! If you are ambitious and want to learn, grow and push yourself to do new innovate things and be around others who have that same drive, you’ll easily lose who you are and feel disappointed.
