I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at NIKE in Mar 2016
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn out of the blue saying she was impressed with my background and expressed interest in setting up a technical screen. I responded and she was pretty quick in setting up a call. The call went well and she told me to expect to hear from the hiring manager in about a week with details on the next step. That was over 2 months ago. I checked in multiple times and at first I was assured that she would reach out to the hiring manager and that I would get a response by the end of the week and then never heard back. Eventually she just stopped responding to my emails all together. About a month I applied to a different Software Engineer position that I saw on LinkedIn posted by a different recruiter with a different Manager, and the exact same thing happened. I got the technical screen set up in a reasonable amount of time, the screen went well and I was assured that I would be contacted by a manager within a weeks time and then never heard back. Again I checked in multiple times and got to the point where the recruiter stopped responding to my emails. After 2 months of trying with 2 different recruiters for 2 different positions I have since given up. Both recruiters were very friendly and seemed interested in having me join the team but the recruitment process is very unprofessional and very unorganized

Question 1
Basic technical screening questions. Asked about my experiences and why I wanted to work at Nike
There are several rounds of technical interviews with different senior engineers and the hiring manager on the team. A minimum of one behavioral interview where it is very important to highlight why Nike compared to other companies specifically.
Recruiter screen then technical interview (classic leetcode style questions) then an Engineering expertise (work history and technologies used) interview and Behavioral (how you work with people and approach situations) interview

Question 1
Write a function that takes a string of words and return number of times each word appears in string
I had 2 tech rounds, 1 director round, and 1 round with the HR. Everyone on the panel was kind and encouraging. The discussion was targetting towards understanding the canddate rather then looking for reasons why they wont be a good fit.
