Software Engineer Intern

June - August 2022 • Minneapolis, MN

What I liked

What I liked most about interning at Target is the effort that the company puts in to keep all of the interns connected. Even though the internship was remote, Target worked tirelessly to host sessions for interns to network with each other and with employees at the company, and to find out more about Target's community. Interns were also provided an opportunity to travel to Minneapolis to explore Target's campuses, to learn more about Minnesota, and to facilitate in-person interactions that make those connections more sincere.

What I wish was different

Advice

One piece of advice that I would share to someone interested in a software engineering internship at Target is to be upfront about your interests. Regardless of which team you get placed on, everyone is Target is actively rooting for you and is open to helping you explore your interests and build up your skills. One significant aspect of the company's culture is learning, and there are plenty of resources available to help you further identify where you want your career to go.

Financial Analyst Intern

April - June 2022 • Minneapolis, MN

What I liked

I liked the hospitality and well thought out intern program. Throughout the internship, there was always someone to help in anything and they were very transparent. Target's work culture was inclusive and prioritized our wellbeing. Outstanding job done for virtual and in-person week.

What I wish was different

I wished that the in-person week we had was in the beginning instead of the end of the internship. It would have made my project prompt less ambiguous and knowledgable.

Advice

Be yourself. A lot of individual meetings with everyone in the corporate and being candid helps make the day go by faster.

HR

June - August 2021 • Honolulu, HI

What I liked

I enjoyed that my position was very flexible in terms of how everyday was different. Rather than being confined in an office doing paperwork and answering phones, I could also be on the sales floor at a cash register, or doing restock in the back.

What I wish was different

One thing that I did not anticipate when I was offered the position was the amount of janitorial work that was required including cleaning out fridges in the break room, vacuuming, sweeping, and even restocking and tidying bathrooms. While I don't mind cleaning, it was unexpected and sometimes frustrating. I do wish I had known these were part of my responsibilities before accepting the job offer.

Advice

When I applied, I was expecting that it would be very strict, however the work environment is very welcoming and almost like a family. I would encourage those who want to apply to come with an open mind and feel comfortable. There are a lot of different positions that Target offers so be sure to explore your options.
