Process
I am still going through the interview process and will update as I complete each step.
So far, I've had two interviews with Lead Recruiters based in Southern California.
My next interview, which is today, will include the STAR process with the recruiter I spoke with most recently.
The process has been excellent so far. They have great follow-through and are very welcoming to speak with.
The rest is to be divulged...

Target Work Experiences
- 3.0Good company for many positions, not for ETLETL • Current EmployeePortland, Oregon, United StatesJune 25, 2021Pros: Benefits, both traditional and less traditional (free food, flexibility, etc.), positive environment, chances for growth and change, potential for transfer.Cons: ETLs are held to incredibly high standards, yet they are not valued for their contributions. As the company does more and more to care for team members, team leaders, and other roles (which is great and far above industry competitors!), they do the reverse to ETLs, expecting more of them while treating them worse. They have worked to minimize compensation offers, minimize raises, and lower bonuses.
- 4.0Fast-moving company that rewards you for keeping up and working hardETL • Current EmployeePortland, Oregon, United StatesFebruary 3, 2015Pros: Pay, benefits, advancement opportunity, and flexible schedule.Cons: Long hours, constantly changing company focus, and high turnover.
- 5.0It was fun, but the hours were longETL • Former EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesNovember 28, 2025Pros: Great friendships built; amazing training for after-target life.Cons: Long hours, worked a lot of holidays.
