I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Target in Jan 2021
Interview
Easy all-star-based and relational, they will ask for a panel interview and then follow up with a on-site interview where you meet the Director of the building. After this they will ask you to do a perfunctory background check and references
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you disagreed with a colleague how did you fix it?
The process was short and quick. Met with HR TA lead and then the hiring manager, and the team. Questions are mostly focused on behavioral, they will ask you how would you handle certain situation and also ask about your technical experiences.
I applied online. I interviewed at Target in Aug 2022
Interview
Cold and impersonal. My initial screening interview lasted 15 minutes and I wasn't even afforded the opportunity to ask any questions about the role or department. The recruiter told me they're moving me on to a 2nd interview, gave me the name of the person who'd be interviewing me, but no job title or how their role related to the one I was interviewing for (turns out it was the hiring manager).
Second interview was better and more thorough, but done over the phone and not video conference like I would have expected.
The follow up process was garbage, though. The interviews went well and when I asked the hiring manager if there were any deficiencies in my background/experience that made them question whether I'm right for the position, they answered, "literally none." Radio silence for nearly two weeks, then at 2:00a on a Sunday, I received a generic, auto-generated email telling me that I'm no longer under consideration. Very frustrating that after multiple interviews and several emails exchanged with the recruiter, I didn't even hear anything from the recruiter. But don't worry - the generic email reassured me that they "value" me as a candidate.
If this is the candidate experience that Target provides, maybe I didn't want to work there anyway.
