I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2011
Interview
Three interviews: phone, HR, and department manager. HR went through the different departments that were looking aside from the one I initially applied for. I picked a different department than the one I was applying for. Once you get past HR, you're pretty much in, unless you have some crazy demands during the department manager interview.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at IKEA (Bengaluru) in Jun 2026
Interview
It was an exclusive interview with people invited from two colleges. The number of applicants was over 25. We had basic introductions, a GD and an interview afterwards. My interviewers were polite though same was not the case for other people.
