Started with an external recruiter chat, then had 2 zoom interviews. The questions were pretty standard and not too hard. I decided to withdraw my application because the offered role was a contract position with no benefits and low pay.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied via Nike's application service but reached out to the Recruiter on LinkedIn. We connected there (spoiler alert: this is how you get noticed! and I had an initial phone screen. After a screen with the hiring manager I went on campus for a panel interview with 5 leaders of the team I'll be working with. The panel asked a series of questions about my experience and what I'm looking for -- I made sure to give concrete examples that supported each of my answers. I was invited back on campus for a quick 30-minute check with my potential new boss's boss for a final screen and was presented an offer later that day. The Nike store pass and accompanying gift card were a nice touch and my interactions with my Recruiter have been TOP NOTCH.

Behavioral Presentation
I applied online and heard back about two weeks later for a phone screening. They told me the next day I was moving on. Since I was out of town, I asked if the in-person panel interview could be on specific days when I'd be in Portland, and they were super accommodating. The in-person panel interview was really good, almost an hour long, with questions for me and time for my questions. It felt conversational and informative. The hiring manager offered me the job about an hour after it ended.

- How would you approach making changes to the Nike brand?
