I left Nike voluntarily about a decade ago and my career flourished in a way that was never possible at Nike. Others pay better and offer very similar benefits. Other employers promote on merit and proven performance rather than on your brown nosing or, in some circumstances, bedroom skills. Many employers actually provide work/life balance rather than just constantly talk about it.
When I left, the biggest challenge was trying to stay busy at the level I was used to at WHQ. It took time to realize that not every company expects you to complete 16 hours of work in an 8 hour day. For a time, I was bored due to having reasonable workloads and it took time to realize that a colleague's friendly greeting or lunch invite was NOT a potential political trap.
You will find that "Nike" is an illusion. It's just a corporate job with really cool offices, easily accessed food and coffee options, and some attractive people to gaze at. Other than some design and marketing roles, 99% of the roles are the same as you find anywhere else. If you are willing to give up the decor, lattes just steps from your desk, and removing daggers from your back each night, then you will find happiness and success outside of the berm.
I figured more people needed to see this. Thanks @glj+1siFPXrb for writing this.
