Interviewed Apr 2010 in Beaverton, OR (took 5 days)
Behavioral based questions. Starts with phone interview with recruiter ( helps to know someone to help you get that phone screen ), and they will pass you on to a panel interview most likely, three people usually. Might be another phone screen in there from the hiring manager. Process just depends on time of year, and how quickly they need someone. Could happen in a week, could take a month.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Portland, OR (took 1 week)
Interview was basic phone interview with HR rep, who was very cordial to speak with. Only issue was that I did not receive any follow up, which I do not believe is uncommon across the industry.

Received call from recruiter that found my resume posted on a job board. I answered basic background questions regarding my experience and then if I was interested in a contract job in Beaverton, OR.
The recruiter set up a phone interview with 3 people that lasted 45 minutes.
The call was right on time, and included the hiring manager, the hiring managers' supervisor, and the person leaving the position they were trying to fill.

I was introduced to Nike through recruiter. It was phone interview with two team leads. They asked basic java questions (for example what is difference between ArrayList and LinkedList). In one day the recruiter informed me that I get the offer.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Portland, OR (took 1+ week)
Applied to position online, received a call from HR, went through a 25 minute screening interview. Was called in to interview in a panel format. Interview with two Senior Managers and an analyst. They asked STAR questions (Tell me about a time when... what was the result...) and seemed to stick to a script. Afterwards had an informal chat with the manager and toured the company's campus. About a week later I received another call and came in to interview 1:1 with a Director. They mainly asked about my interests and why I wanted to work with the company, told me about expectations, etc. Overall I would say the interview process is very standard and did not think it was difficult at all.

Try your best to negotiate your starting salary - Nike likes to lowball because they feel they have "pricing power" since so many people want to work there.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Beaverton, OR (took 2 months)
The hiring and interview process at Nike is lengthy but not overly. The process includes behavioral open ended questions that gauge how you would react in a given situation. This is conducted by a panel of 4 - 5 individuals that have a stake in the role's performance. Nike's organization is structured in a matrix so there are a lot of roles that have a stake in how an employee performs.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Beaverton, OR (took 6 weeks)
The interview is like most of the big box retail. Phone interview is more on the tech side and follow by face to face interview with a group. The group interviews are pretty much the standard items you can think of and nothing is really outside the box. However, mine took 3 different schedules with the same hiring manager and vp of the group. Interview is friendly and casual and it is a good experience altho i didn't get the job offer at the end.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Beaverton, OR (took 3 weeks)
Interview process consisted of an initial phone screen (by a headhunter) who essentially asked very generic questions about "why Nike?" and "why Portland/Beaverton" to assess fit. Second phone interview was with a Strategy Manager who seemed distracted and not prepared for the interview - he asked a very simple market assessment question. Final round interviews were all day on campus in Beaverton - very cool place and Senior Strategy leadership were impressive, but overall, salary and the company's interest in me (though they offered me a position) seemed lacking.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Salary was extremely uncompetitive compared to my current (at the time) management consulting role and other corporate strategy / investment finance offers I was considering

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Beaverton, OR (took 2 months)
I had a full month of weekly interviews, before flying out to Oregon for the in-person interview. Everyone was really great. I'm not sure how long the hiring process takes, considering I had four phone interviews.
