I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Tempe, AZ) in Sep 2013
Interview
Its usually loosely based off of the IKEA Values. Simplicity, Humbleness and willpower, doing things differently, leadership through example and being cost conscious. interviews are pretty straight forward and there is a script to be followed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what was a difficult situation at a previous job and what did you learn from it.
