Pros

Target is a very good company to work with if managers have some sense.

Innovative projects and tech stack.

Cons

Politics, politics, politics everywhere. You cannot escape these politics.

Complaints on managers are never taken seriously. Discrimination is evident. Managers halt the growth of talented people. No respect for skill and talent. Only people who have contacts can survive here. Not good work, but being "yes sir" to managers will help you grow.

The manager I worked under is just surviving on the contacts he has at the office. He is a serial offender, and many women complained about him. Women have quit because of him and also mentioned this to HR. Yet, he gets all the support from the company.

Advice to Management

Clean up the serial offenders and unworthy managers.

Provide a safe environment to work.

Make the policies, on paper, real.

Stop supporting people just because they are in your close circle.
