Pros

Collaborative, depending on what team you're on Using the latest dev tools, including laptop and monitor Free snacks and coffee Office centrally located and easy to get to, also very modern and well-designed

Cons

Office is very cliquey with a clear divide between management and middle employees Upper management seems threatened by talent and ideas proposed by those outside their discipline Downtown office extremely hard to concentrate, sometimes seems like a party thrown by people not under deadlines at the expense of those who are and Managers of managers of managers More concerned with being "cool" with doing quality work Incredible access to Nike's back catalogue of history to pull from for ideas, yet recycles the same old same old Creative directors who aren't really that creative Focused more on time-sheets than actual work being done Constant double speak; the office keeps "expanding", yet layoffs continue-- 3 in a year as others have mentioned. Events are thrown as a way to make up for people being over worked Gross logistical incompetence; employees sent to the Nike campus for months without the ability to enter the buildings they work in everyday Bodies thrown at projects seemingly just to fill chairs now Barely any reverence given to Nike as a brand, seemingly looked at as an ATM

Pros

High profile accounts and clients and a focus on digital transformation.

Cons

Hands down, the worst experience I've ever had. Not the whole company, but the way I was treated was unacceptable.
