Pros

Decent compensation, flexible work schedule and good work-life balance

Cons

If you are a techie fresh out of college, do yourself a favor and do not work for retail companies like Target.. Everyone here is an architect and has little to no knowledge about technology.. You will be constantly bombarded with meaningless meetings whose outcome is usually nothing productive and most of your work will be outsourced to some company in India or Uruguay.. The work culture here is very bad. Most of the days I used to be the lone team member working. Everyone else would take a holiday at the pretext of WFH. If you are from a prestigious college with a great technical background, do not consider Target as your workplace option..

Pros

Compensation did not grow in sync with my technical growth. Work-life balance varies from project to project.

Cons

My first project was a support project where i worked harder without any support but get only negative returns. I was thrown out of the project as poor performer. But second project was development project , where my performance was acknowledged and appreciated by all and i got promoted to next level which surprised my first Manager.
