Good benefits and pay; constant transformation
Good benefits and pay; constant transformation
The work-life balance was good; it was very flexible for working from home and flexing hours. This was especially true with their off-the-grid campus location in Brooklyn Park. The Target discount was nice. Benefits and pay were very good.
In IT, they are trying to shove the Agile methodology down the throat of the entire organization. It definitely makes sense in software development areas, but in other areas like Build/Engineer, it's like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. If you want volatility and a constant state of transformation, Target will be for you. Management is hyper-focused on productivity and the daily micromanaging of engineers. (What was done yesterday? What will be done today?) The last one to leave their desk for the day is the winner. It seems like Target wants to compete with the Amazons of the world, but they can't get the basics down of keeping their store shelves stocked.
Stop micromanaging.
Trust your employees and validate results.
Utilize your employees' actual skill sets, instead of trying to fit them into an Agile peg.
