a uk gov agency has ads all over my stackoverflow, and has done for the past year. apparently they are struggling to hire tech people. imo it's because the hiring process takes 6mths to a year

I've interviewed at places that did the 2-day interview, but they were mostly hiring fresh college grads for way more than fresh college grads usually make, and they at least had the courtesy to buy everyone a fancy dinner and put them in a nice hotel. And give you a yes or no within a week. Who in the hell is doing 3 day interviews with homework? That's absurd and anybody but the most desperate wannabe junior devs should be giving them the bird on the way out the door.

Wanna run with my crew huh? Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?

I actually prefer homework-based interviews. It gives me time to collect my thoughts and I'll also be able to go into the interview more confident in what I'm gonna talk about.

is Target any better in terms of how it treats its employees overall. I worked there for one (1) week before I got a job at the Census Bureau and I'm gonna hazard a big fat "no"

I worked there in high school and everyone was nice, so it's probably a store by store thing (tbf, I didn't care then that I was making minimum wage)

Pay fresh college grads 6 figures and not be in the bay area. At least for the place I decided to work.

oh but they also contract or outsorce a lot of their development

i'd imagine that they wouldn't be doing enough development in specific areas to necessitate a full time development staff of experts in that area

but i suspect that they're outsourcing it to someone in india, not minneapolis
