What do you know about Adidas? Why do you want to work for us?

Adidas embraces and embodies the mentality of the athletes they serve. They value courage, ownership, innovation, teamwork, integrity, and respect.

Study the mission and aesthetic of Adidas before your interview. Spend some time on the Adidas website, look at their different offerings, and get a feel for their brand. Tell the interviewer what you learned and which aspects of their company made you want to work for them.

"As an athlete, I appreciate that Adidas embraces values like teamwork and respect. I strongly believe that a sports team works best when everyone respects one another and works together. The same applies to a work environment. I want to work for a company where I feel like a part of a team, working together towards our end goal."

"I admire Adidas' commitment to sustainability all across the production chain -- not many companies actively use their influence to affect change in issues of human rights for workers throughout the world, and I would love to work for a company with the integrity and responsibility that Adidas exhibits."
