ETL Interview Experience - Las Vegas, Nevada

August 31, 2017

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was recruited through college and passed all of my interviews.

However, I had to wait almost two months for a position to open.

When the position finally opened, I was disqualified because I had not explicitly listed my summer high school employment at Target on my resume. Although this experience was detailed on my application, the management team considered it "inconsistent".

Consequently, I received an offer and was then rejected.

Additionally, the recruiter was fired.

Questions

Most of the questions were behavioral-based.

Could be fun, but little life besides Target

ETL • Current Employee

Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

Pros: You do meet some very nice people, and the work is very challenging and could potentially be very rewarding.

Cons: Long hours and very little work/life balance, despite that being something that the company talks about as a benefit of working there. Regular 11+ hour days with little return in terms of personal or professional development.

Not what it seems

ETL • Former Employee

Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

Pros: The one pro is that the team members really work hard for you. As long as you have a great relationship with them, you will do well.

Cons: Work-life balance is poor. It's very political. If you don't look or talk the way they want you to, you can forget about moving up. Your peers are all paid differently. You will have people who came in after you making more money than you, which isn't right.
