interviewing at Nike in 3 weeks for a senior PM role in their digital product org. trying to get a current picture of what the loop looks like because everything I find online is 2-3 years old.
here's my data so far: recruiter told me to expect 4 rounds, including a panel with cross-functional partners. apparently there's a product vision exercise somewhere in there but she was vague on format.
if you've interviewed at Nike in the last 12 months (any function is useful), drop what you saw. role, number of rounds, any surprises. trying to build a real picture, not the job description version of events.

interviewed for a senior UX researcher role about 4 months ago. 4 rounds: recruiter, HM (remote), a research skills discussion where they had me walk through a past project in real time, then a panel of 3. the panel had a PM, a design lead, and an engineering partner. the engineering partner asked the most nuanced questions about how I collaborate with product.

strategy role, about 7 months ago. 5 rounds for me but one was added because the HM wanted a second conversation after the initial. the product vision exercise was basically a mini strategy brief, they gave me a consumer trend and asked what Nike should do about it. i had 45 min to prep verbally, no slides. went better than expected because i treated it like a mini case.

this is exactly what i needed. treating it like a case frame is a good instinct. do you remember if they pushed on financials or kept it more qualitative?

mostly qualitative with one or two sizing questions. they weren't looking for a model, they were looking for whether your reasoning held up under pushback. that was the real test.

SRE role, 3 months ago. my loop was shorter, 3 rounds. recruiter, a systems design session, then a behavioral panel. the systems design was more supply-chain infrastructure adjacent than pure web-scale stuff. refreshingly different from the usual distributed systems script.
