I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target (Kānpur, Uttar Pradesh) in Dec 2014

firstly they took an aptitude test, which was easy and included mainly logical reasoning and little bit programming questions. Then after getting selected for the interview I got to give three rounds interview, took total time of 90 to 100 minutes. In first round they mainly asked about the CV and then they gave me a case study for step by step process of building infrastructure for an eCommerce . and in HR round they asked about my reaction on different situations I would have to face in my career.

Question 1
Mainly asked about the CV and then a case study and then there was an HR interview.
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
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.
I applied through college or 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.
