I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Target (Minneapolis, MN) in Oct 2020
Interview
Had an initial telephone screening round. After which I had 3 rounds of interviews, the 1st 2 being behavioral and the last being pair programming
The behavioral rounds were 45 minutes each and the pair programming round was for 1 hour 30 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked the regular behavioral questions. In the pair programming round, however, I was asked to code in Java while I had mentioned in the telephonic interview that I prefer python instead and had lost my touch in Java.
The question was to implement a shopping cart. In Spring - Java.
First talked to a recruiter after I submitted an application. Then got an invitation to a virtual interview session with three people. Interviewed separately with each one. About 1 hour per interview. Heard back from recruiter about a week later I think to discuss salary, etc.

Question 1
Had a pretty simple systems design type question. Very easy as long as you think of the components, Also had some typical behavioral type questions. I think also a few easy technical questions.
I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Brooklyn Park, MN)
Interview
One University campus interview, an online coding test, and two onsite interviews.
The onsite interviews were fine, but less technical than I had hoped. I didn't get a chance to show my programming knowledge.
Besides the interviews, the day I spent onsite was great.
However, afterwards, my recruiter never answered my multiple emails and ignored my request for a timely decision. After 3.5 weeks, I am still waiting for a response. I am disappointed that Target decided to waste my time.
