I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Target (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2015
Interview
They ask basic interview questions. They explained STAR format to me before asking questions, which felt like a waste of time because I already knew it. The recruiter was very nice. After completing the phone interview I took an online assessment that took about 1.5 hours. The assessment has one timed section and the rest are unlimited. After the assessment they don't give you feedback.
