I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Reading, Engeland) in Aug 2016
Interview
Group interview with 3 activities. 1) Given a product and asked to rebrand and resell it. 2) Given 10 customer service statements pick the best 5 and explain why the other 5 are not as good. 3) Take in a picture of your favorite room (prepare what you are going to say before this it really helps).
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at IKEA (Bengaluru) in Jun 2026
