I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Tempe, AZ) in Sept 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
