Business Outlook

Pros

adidas offers great perks, very good benefits, and fair salaries. adidas is very willing to promote from within and regularly moves employees internationally. There are some great people who are very smart that work at adidas.

Cons

There is a high school like culture within adidas and a general lack of acceptance for those who aren't in the same mold as everyone else. The company has difficulties with change management. Until recently (2011) strategic planning was a weak point throughout all levels of the organization. This is still a problem area but has improved.
