Pros

Nice campus in an improving neighborhood near downtown Portland. Plenty of parking. Good gym. Cool products. Energetic, fun colleagues. Lots of perks from other companies that market with adidas. Access to steeply discounted product at the retail stores and outlets. Opportunities to travel around the globe. Discounted or free tix to sporting events.

Cons

If you are ambitious it is really tough to advance beyond Director as an American employee. You'll get blindsided by politics originating in German HQ sooner or later. Below-average pay. Constantly looking up a Nike. Sr. management unwilling to invest in IT, Marketing, Advertising, US endorsements. Totally reactive business strategy.
