    Kickin’ it old school


    Adored by athletes and immortalized by Run-DMC, the perennially lowercase adidas is the second highest-selling shoe brand in the world, trailing behind market leader Nike.  The brand specializes in athletic footwear, apparel and accessories, and sponsors soccer, basketball, tennis, football and rugby teams as well as athletes all over the world, including American football teams and all of the U.S. soccer league teams.  Worn by everyone from the Beastie Boys to former U.S. President Bush to footie fanatics in developing nations, the triple-stripe sneaks are well-loved the world over.  The €10.8 billion company (2009) also owns sneaker brand Reebok, casual-shoe maker Rockport and TaylorMade-adidas Golf.

    SURVEY SAYS


    Easy to be happy?


    Although several of our sources peg their salaries at “lower than market rates,” negative comments about adidas’ benefits and atmosphere are hard to find.  An “extremely casual work environment” in which staffers are “encouraged to wear the brand” was a key point for some; one human resources generalist even advises interviewees to do the same “to appear more attractive” as a candidate.  Obviously, adidas is a great choice for those with a “love of sport,” and one recruiter particularly enjoys the fact that there are numerous “opportunities to meet the cool athletes visiting our headquarters campus.”
