I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at IKEA (East Palo Alto, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Great telephone interview ... fun and direct, candid but not too nerve wracking
It took a little longer than I was told to get the call for the 1:1
This was interesting because my interviewer had only been employed there for 2 weeks ... which seemed quite inappropriate. Maybe (from looking at me at the reception area) they thought I was not a good candidate (not likely but?) .... or simply had so many applicants booked on Sunday afternoon that they had to "double up" the 1:1s with two (or more?) interviewers.
In the end, I was very disappointed cause maybe I appeared to be overqualified (having driven a forklift for WalMart for the last 7 years and was paid twice what Ikea was ititially offering?

Interview
Pretty quick, questions about experience and how you think ur the best fit for the job. Ended up getting the job overall. I find the interviewees comforting throughout.
I definitely think if you have the experience you will be fine
