Target

Target is a solid organization overall, but its corporate systems are fundamentally broken.

The Director and Senior Directors have established an insular hierarchy, where promotions are routinely handed to their inner circle, while truly deserving candidates continue to struggle without recognition. In particular, the leadership under Guru and his associates has fostered a toxic culture in India — a virtual mafia that thrives on favoritism and exclusion.

Meanwhile, the U.S. leadership remains either unaware or willfully blind to the ground realities. Have any of you genuinely assessed the pace of career growth, or lack thereof, within the corporate system in Bangalore? The disconnect between the on-ground struggles and the leadership's perception is staggering, and it is high time this imbalance is addressed.
