After on-campus recruiting, hiring process involved an on-line test and an in-person series of interviews, focused around a scripted and structured behavioral interview.
The online exam included two overall series of questions: one quantitatively assessing past experiences (e.g., how many formal leadership positions have you held) and another testing mathematical competency. The behavioral interview, meanwhile, was standard.

Question 1
There was nothing particularly surprising or difficult about the interview process. The intense structure to the behavioral interview came off as slightly surprising, however, but it mostly added instead a sense of disconnection with candidates; I did not enjoy the interview, and I could tell I was simply being screened rather than conversed with.
Preparation for behavioral components will be to a candidate's advantage for the interview. Definitely review your answers to basic interview questions, and prepare by researching the company in-depth. Still, expect extreme structure to your interview and do not look forward to an ongoing discussion with your potential employer.
The Interview Process overall was not too hard and not too easy. It was a 3 round interview process first starting with a phone screening and ending with a Zoom call interview. A very smooth overall process.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2024
Interview
It was overall good, they essentially told me they have someone lined up for the position which made me not really want to complete the interview, but the questions they asked were at least good practice

Question 1
Tell me about a recent project you completed that you took lead on.
Went to UCF interview training. The trainer said she would've hired me if she was able to but wasn't due to not being able to snipe talent as she was there to help interviewees gain the skills.
