General customer service interview. Asked a lot of situations and how to deal with them and about yourself and your experience. You need to be flexible and be able to work weird hours to get hired

I was made fun of in one of the fishbowl groups on asking whether Google hires Freelance designers. I've been freelancing since 4 years and I like new projects. I am great with document accessibility and WCAG My current clients are banks, IKEA, Sunmaid raisins and many more. I'm really not sure how to find people who I can pitch my work, to work with Google. It's just one of the things that I really want to work for their team as a designer. Any tips I feel this is a safe place to post this. 🙂

The job application is made online. They contact you by phone for a singular interview. The interview is pretty standard. Usually made by two representatives. The decision and offer are made relatively quickly afterwards.
- What IKEA key value represents you the best and why?
I find the firm Ikea mattress very comfortable and it's less than 300, is it considered odd to buy them for someone who's in the 30s?
I like the traditional spring feeling but if people come to my house and see I have an Ikea mattress, will they think less of me?

It was great and very helpful. The interviewers were nice and thoughtful. I have no complaints. My current team manager interviewed me and he's been great so far. The briefing was superb as well from the HR team.

Easy interview, got it done quickly and swiftly, no problems. Day after called back and said I can come in in a week. Pay is minimum for your age range in NL.
- Do you have previous experience
I'm trying to get into gardening and bought some pots from IKEA. One is a typical pot with the dish at the bottom and the other one isn't. For the one that doesn't have the hole at the bottom and dish (I apologize, not sure if they have specific names), can I grow anything in it? If yes, what will work for that or will any plant do? Thanks!!
The whole is meant to allow water to pass through. The other will retain more water. I think you can grow plants in either, but the the type of plant is different. The plants have little tags on them that tell you how much water they need and what happens if they stay wet too long.
