I applied online. I interviewed at NIKE (Bellevue, WA) in Jun 2026
Interview
The interview was different from many I have experienced before. Definitely use the online aspect to your advantage and prepare before you submit your responses. The questions were moderately difficult to answer.
It was a very straight forward process, interviewers were very nice and made me feel super comfortable while maintaining a professional atmosphere. Interview was held over zoom online due to Covid at the time. Overall a good experience
Was not stressfull, didn't take too long. Just make sure to speak up a lot. Use STAR method. Friendly vibe, just try relate questions to personal experiences. Be well mannered and try lead conversations and ideas.
