I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target in Feb 2013
Interview
I applied through college campus career website and received an email from the HR representative from their HQ in scheduling a phone interview. The first interview was fairly short, around 20 minutes and it was mainly to get to know you and see if it's an opportunity that you're interested in and whether you'd be open to moving to the location etc. I was given an online test that was mainly case analyzing and data comprehension. After a week or so of decision, I was selected for second round phone interview. This was a behavioral interview where questions were structured like, "Tell me a time when....". This one lasted for half an hour and was told that I'd hear back about their decision. I was emailed a week later that I was not accepted. The HR representative was very friendly through email and during the selection process but in the general rejection email, it said to not contact them regarding personal feedbacks because it's against their policy.

Question 1
Tell me a time where you had to deal someone who wasn't contributing any work in the project.
It consisted of a phone screen with HR followed by 30-minute virtual interviews with three others. Overall, the process was pretty smooth. I was surprised there was no in-person portion.
