Pros

Great product, strong product resources (material suppliers, factory partners, etc. will work twice as hard to accommodate the brand), three-stripes holds alot of weight in the product world, brand has unmatched heritage.

Cons

Extremely heirarchial. Lower level does not make any decisions, even the most basic simple product decisions are all made at a higher level. Most at adidas HQ in Germany have no other experience, so they all think adidas is the be-all/end all. Most HQ employees inexperienced and most expats used quite a bit as being an engine for the inexperienced Germans to manage. It is impossible to move up in this company if you are non-German. They also do not know what diversity means yet.

Pros

Some great people in my team

Cons

You are thrown away in an instant without remorse or a second of thought. You cannot and should not trust a word the CEO Ralph Kotterer says. This has been proven time and time again.
