I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Schaumburg, IL) in Jul 2024
Interview
Somewhat easy but difficult to prepare for. I interviewed with a department manager and a team lead. They asked a set of prepared questions based on the IKEA values. Most of them are behavioral type questions (i.e. tell us about a time when). So know their values, and choose your favorite ones. Also have flexibility in availability (which ties into their values).
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA in Feb 2025
Interview
My interview was very relaxed, quick, and simple. It was done in a quiet room. All questions asked were related to Ikea's values. After I gave my answers, I took a tour of the department I applied for. It took about a week to get a text from the recruiter to accept the job offer.
