Pros: It's easy to do the same thing and get comfortable. It's possible to move teams, but it's hard for subject matter expert team players. Overall company culture, everyone is mostly helpful. There should be at least one person on each team who is willing to help everyone. You are able to switch teams if you'd like, but you will have to apply internally like everyone else.

Cons: Company claims to value diversity and help create a better environment, but it's mostly for adding good numbers of diversity and claims on paper. If you look at the 2023 incident where they removed the LGBTQIA+ products from stores, it says a lot about their values to back down products instead of lead with pride. This was a controversial topic, as these threats were aimed towards the safety of the people. Managers and senior-level engineers are very political to gain title/pay raises for themselves. The HR team is there to protect their higher-ups, so report your experiences for a paper trail, but micro-bullying/managing from them will not result in discipline for your managers. Pay bands are low considering this is Target.

Pros: The HQ office is nice and has a nice view.

Cons: If you don't work for Target for a year, they will make sure you pay every penny for relocation, even though they paid you less than what the package was. I signed the contract, and they gave me $7,500 for relocation expenses. I quit in less than a year due to being abused, and they sent me a bill for $18,000. I don't understand where the money comes from.

Pros: Good people to work with.

Cons: Really lowballs you and kind of slow.
