A very bizarre micro culture. No one cares about your output, but rather you will constantly be nit picked and criticized about HOW you do things, all of which are gray areas. In other words, you could save the company $100M, but rather than praised you'll be told you didn't include enough other opinions, or you didn't get the janitors feedback first, etc. there is zero diversity of thought, there is 1 way to do things, the Target Way.
The collaboration culture you will hear about simply means a slow, bureaucratic culture wherein you must show all of your work, even routine emails, to just about everyone on your team before you can proceed.
Despite good review scores, my management told me they would not support me for another role in the company. When I would ask why, I would never get an answer. Which brings me to my next con, the MN nice/passive aggressiveness that runs rampant. If you have a logical black/white brain, you will struggle here. You will never get deadlines, or objectivity of any sort. People are intentionally gray and they never rock the boat.
And lastly, face time. My team was told numerous times that we had to be in our desks more. No core hours, no flexibility, no business reason for needing to be in our seats, just a rule for rule's sake.
