I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target (Bengaluru) in Jun 2019
Interview
First round was haker rank with some aptitude and some programming questions , They was asking what they was working on (kafka and cassandra) in details, i am feeling interviewer was not having much interview experience because in interview you should not ask question on which person have not worked or it is not there in his profile, so worst interview.

Interview
I got a call from recruiter that they would like to interview me for senior engineer role. I said ok. They scheduled a interview. Recruiter said that it's going to be a coding round. I prepared for coding interview. But unfortunately the interview was completely theoretical. No coding. All technical questions on microservice architecture and database.

Interview
I applied online for a position of Senior engineer, and after few days of applying I got a call from HR. Interview got scheduled and below is my experience in each round: 1. In first round of interview I was asked very basic question on Spring boot, Java 8 features, and few questions on Linked list, Concurrent hashmap, Treeset etc. The interview was conducted by a Senior software engineer from some other team at Target 2. After clearing first round, I was asked to go for another technical interview by a Tech lead. In the second round of interview I was asked question specific to Spring boot, Microservices basics, and questions on designing a system that is read heavy. I was able to answer most of these except but there were so many syntactical questions that I couldn't answer exactly to the point. After the second round, I never got a call from HR even after sending a follow up mail twice. I had never expected this from such a reputed organisation.
