Adidas Careers & Interviews

Adidas is the largest sportswear manufacturer in Europe and the second-largest globally, behind Nike. Headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Germany (affectionately known as 'Herzo'), the corporate culture is significantly shaped by its European roots: it tends to be more process-driven, structured, and consensus-oriented than its American rival. Adidas heavily emphasizes 'Creators'—they see sports not just as performance, but deeply intertwined with lifestyle, culture, and fashion (Originals, Y-3). Interviewing at Adidas requires showing a deep appreciation for their heritage (the Three Stripes), a collaborative mindset ('Through sport, we have the power to change lives'), and the ability to navigate a very complex, matrixed global organization where decisions often take time to build alignment.
