I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Houston, TX)
Interview
It is a lengthy process: in person interview followed by about 3 timed projects which you then present in your final interview. they have a selection of projects so if you apply different times, you will be doing different projects. Over all fun but the timed portion is a little nerve racking!
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience here. We are grateful that you took the time to put the projects together and share your skills with us during your interviews. Interviewing alone can be nerve racking without timed projects added to it, but you did it! It’s exciting for us to see that you accepted the position with us too – Congrats and welcome to IKEA! #Coworker

Per E-Mail habe ich eine Aufgabe bekommen die ich zum Vorstellungsgespräch mitnehmen musste. Im Gespräch wurden unterschiedliche Fragen gestellt ( persönlich und fachlich). Im Gespräch saßen 2 Mitarbeiterinnen. Die einer aus dem Fachbereich und die andere aus der Personalabteilung.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Houston, TX) in Dec 2013
Interview
I applied online then was called and asked some questions over the phone like why do you want to work for IKEA etc... Then I was told the second part of the interview was to design a roomset using only IKEA products. I was mailed the packet to use for the design task and presented it during the second interview in person for the Interior Design manager and the Communication and Interior Design director. They have since restructured the CommIn Dept. and I don't believe they have interior designers anymore, rather roomset design implementors, and 2 designers who design for all of North America.
