Pros
- Helluva culture. Culture is pretty vibrant and pretty much extroverted. Most of the colleagues are in their mid 20s 30s, so you can kinda feel the youth and people’s excitement in the air. - Work ambience is really great. Almost everyone is super kind and 100% willing to help you. - Good benefits, such as employee discount, monthly discount codes, extra yearly bonuses (which can be even up to 3 monthly salaries), extra salary payment for employees’ public services costs, cheap lunch at the office’s casino, etc. - You don’t feel like in other companies where there’s a big VPs power hierarchy and the most important people look unreachable. Here it’s the total opposite. VPs and other tech lead are really approachable and they make you feel that you can reach to them at any time. - Really great workplace. You get a feeling that they are making a really good effort to have incentives for people to come at the office. 3 days per week at the office policy, but in theory there isn’t someone checking that you’re really going to the office those days. - Many sport groups between employees are being held (like soccer, padel groups or even underwater rugby groups) - They set-up frequent meet and greet events with famous Colombian athletes - Tech Summit events and end of the year parties are awesome. They have made good efforts for these events to be great and huge year by year. - Excellent work-life balance. As being a sports company, culture is heavily promoted for employees to participate in sports events (like the sports groups I mentioned). Also your leader and peers respect a lot if you have to be absent for a personal duty or a work travel. - This can be a con if you’re someone to like to work under pressure (but not to the point to being burned out oc): work pace is pretty relaxed. I’ve seen a couple of colleagues (myself included) who are coming from companies where work pressure is high and they get shocked to see that here the work pace is, in most cases, the opposite.
Cons
- Salary. There aren’t big salary increases per year. Annually they do a salary increase review per employee and it’s known that some employees don’t even get a salary increase on a particular year. I would say that during the time I was at the company my salary didn’t increase that much, and also even some VPs recognize that salaries aren’t the greatest. - Although they tend to work with a up-to-date tech stack (at least no AS400 or old IBM systems), there are no big tech challenges. After 1 year on the job you will feel stuck doing the same tasks, and despite that leaders said that challenges will come up eventually, after a couple of months you’re still doing the same thing, and you see people being 10+ years at the company also working on this same dynamic. - It kind of relates to last point, but I feel there’s no growing path. Easily you can get stuck doing the same kind of tasks for multiple months or even years while being on the same role. So don’t expect to jump from one big challenge to another. - …. and this also relates to the last point: Although work culture is really great, I feel like there’s more an emphasis from the company of living the “woo hoo!” moments in Adidas than rather focusing on having constants challenges in your work (this might be a pro for you if you just want to have a job that provides you great cultural experiences rather than growing opportunities) - If you don’t live near the northside of Bogota, getting to the office takes quite some time and in the evenings traffic can become pretty heavy. - If you work 100% remotely for other markets outside of LAM and you find quite difficult to make new contacts, socializing at the office could be a little bit rough. Even more, if you don’t have a concrete purpose of going to the office (like going to a global team’s meeting/activity or even have a group of colleagues to get along with) you’ll mostly feel like you’re invisible there. - Regarding Tech Summit events, although I mentioned these are awesome, these are great networking events but not great tech events. So don’t expect to learn the latest tech trends or get a very complete understanding of different NAM/LAM projects’ tech stack. Expect them to be more like networking events. So overall, if you’re someone who prioritize to have good times with your peers, enjoy amazing events made by the company and embrace the adidas brand, their history, workplace and the cultural benefits they provide to their employees, with also having no issue of not having constants challenges or professional growth on your work, not getting big salary bumps year after year but also getting a good work/life balance, you’ll have a great time working here. f you’re someone who’s looking for a big tech salary, big salary increases per year, promotions, and also you’re someone who’s always thriving for complex tech projects and/or challenges, most likely you’ll get bored after a couple of months of work.

They've tightened up their hybrid work policy requiring everyone to go into the office Monday-Thursday even if you are a singular team member at your location. Work culture can feel overly political at times and it's hard to climb the ladder if you're unwilling to relocate to Portland, OR.
