I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Minneapolis, MN) in Oct 2019
Interview
My interview process was likely expedited as I was contacted by my recruiter less than two weeks before my decision deadlines for two other offers. I first had a short behavioral interview with the recruiter, after which another semi-technical phone interview was scheduled with a current developer. Both interviewers asked basic background questions, with the second asking about more detail in regards to the internship/projects listed on my resume. The latter was additionally a graduate of the TLP program, and provided some insight on how the program is structured. After passing the second phone interview, an invitation for an on-site interview was extended for the following week. The on-site included a series of two interviews. The first was a "technical" interview that was essentially an extended conversation about projects from my resume, and included a short, non-algorithmic whiteboarding session. The second was a non-technical behavioral/problem solving session.
After the interview, I was paired with a current developer who had graduated from the TLP program, and shadowed her until it was time for a tour. I received an offer before going on the tour, but this interview took place the day before I had two other offer decision deadlines so I'm uncertain if this is common practice.

Standard interview questions followed up by a technology competency panel. If you say you know java/c++/swift you had better actually have experience with the language. There will probably be multiple people interviewing you. If someone asks a question address them when answering that question.
