I applied through college or university. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Target
Interview
Got in contact with the Target interview process early in September, from a college career fair. Had initial interview the very next day. Had to fill out the online assessment, it was really hard! Calculator and actual critical thinking was needed. Then a month later, I had a phone interview. One week later, I had the in person interview with a district team leader.

Question 1
I think the hardest part of the interview process is that they didn't really get a chance to know me and hear why I wanted to work there. Each interview was only 5 questions, and all were situational
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Target in Sep 2012
Interview
I was recruited by Target for an ETL position. They contacted me and I went through 2 phone and 2 in person interviews before they decided I hadn't had enough experience. I received a generic no-reply email stating that I was not selected and they don't give feed back with regards to the interview process. It was extremely impersonal and generic, which is something they aim not to be according to their "culture". Two days after receiving this email I got a call from HR at the store I interviewed with saying the last person I spoke with recommended me for a position two steps below the one they recruited me for. I began the process over again, and was informed that I would be required to have at least 3 more interviews. After the first interview in the second round I was contacted regarding salary. The store manager was nice and honest about the expectations we both had and we decided to go our separate ways. I appreciated his honesty and the phone call. At least he cared enough to contact me. After having gone through this process and reading the reviews, I feel I may have dodged a bullet. Maybe I have a scewed view of what "recruiting" means, but I wasn't expecting such a repetative, impersonal process.

Nothing unexpected. If you review the information on their website you can be prepared.
