Pros
- Huge company where you can find opportunities to work with virtually any tech you're interested in - Really great work life balance (emphasis on taking time to learn, often get reprimanded for working after hours) - Great mentorship opportunities as an entry level developer (huge focus on lead engineers helping L4s, very collaborative culture) - More innovative than I expected - does their best to stay at the cutting edge of tech - Great benefits and pay if you're living in Minnesota - As a woman in the field, very encouraging to see so many women and bipoc engineers at all levels of engineering - Target definitely comes through on its promise of caring about diversity and inclusion
Cons
- No L4 remote work approval as of 2023 (must be in Minneapolis, even if your team works remotely) - Currently (2023/ early 2024) struggling to meet pandemic levels of growth, no huge lay offs, but still seeing very little opportunities for title changes and bonuses
