      Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 5, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Target

      Interview

      They came to campus for the career fair and the following day they held interviews. No technical questions were asked, all behavioral. It was super easy, I think they were looking to fit culture more than technical skills. Overall internship ended up being very IT like and not great for a software engineer.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Minneapolis, MN

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Minneapolis, MN) in May 2026

      Interview

      The first round was a typical phone interview, and the second was a tech screening by a manager. 2 more tech screens, followed by a pair programming session. None of the questions were all that complex or difficult; However, one of the technical interviews was supposed to be behavioral. The interviewer decided to make it a technical interview and seemed standoffish from the start, almost as if he knew he did not want to move forward with me before the interview even started. Investing time in 5 different rounds of interviews is a lot, especially when they refuse to give you any feedback afterward. Especially when the interviewers are allowed to switch the purpose of the interview call altogether whenever they feel like it.
