J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez IKEA (Schaumburg, IL) en juil. 2024
Entretien
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).
Interview was around 30 minutes. Two managers interviewed me and stated the companies values and mission. The interview had about 5-7 questions to see if you would be a fit.

The manager was very kind and welcoming from the very beginning, making the interview pleasant and comfortable. Alisha took the time to clearly explain the interview protocol and process, provided clear instructions with patience, and answered all of my questions and concerns. It didn’t even feel like an interview, but rather a pleasant introductory conversation.

Question 1
Most of the questions were about experiences and values.
she asked me how would I treat a new coworker?
Phone interview then in person interview. Many questions were about dealing with pressure - seemed more appropriate for higher level job. Long delay between application and interview. Weirdly serious. It was unclear how the interview questions related to the job in question.
