I applied in-person. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Emeryville, CA) in May 2016
Interview
Kind of long. I went to a job fair and it took about a month to actually start. I had 3 different interviews with 3 different people. 1 of which is now my manager , they were all nice except the first guy who was kind of a poker face. But none the less he apparently liked me so I can't complain. I took a drug test and background test.
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.
