Palpable Score

75.8
/ 100
Nike offers unusually broad early-career entry points through paid internships plus structured apprenticeships that lead to real hiring outcomes, especially in design. Hiring transparency and pay information are solid on many postings, but timelines and feedback practices are not consistently spelled out, and recent corporate workforce reductions add risk to perceived stability for new starters.
