Process
Target's interview process was very intensive.
An HR representative called to schedule a phone interview, stating that all questions would be behavioral. The phone interview lasted a little less than an hour.
Subsequently, I received another email indicating they wished to continue the interview process and invited me to meet with them in person.
There were three different groups to meet with, followed by a personal tour of the distribution center. The entire interview process took about 3 hours to complete.
While the interviewers were very nice, the process can be exhausting. Since there were three interviews, they mentioned it was okay to use the same examples if needed.

Target Work Experiences
- 2.0Good Perks, Poor GrowthSenior Applications Developer • Former EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaJuly 15, 2015Pros: Work-life balance Free food Fun activitiesCons: No individual growth. Recognition is very biased. Very hard to get into good projects. I worked here with three different managers. None of them were technically qualified to understand the developer's work, and they judged us by our boasting, not by talent and hard work. We saw many people getting appreciation by being favorable, not by their work. They kept doing re-organization activities but again made stupid decisions. No one knew anything about technical advancements happening around. So much favoritism happens around the managers, and they screw up the careers of employees for their benefits. Don't join this company if you want to grow by your talent and can be easily manipulated.
