I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IKEA in Apr 2024
Interview
Hiring Manager Round: Got invited for hiring manager round after my resume got shortlisted. Pleasant discussion all questions were behavioural questions. Learn about ikea and its values.
Engineering Manager: Second round of interview. 45 minutes discussion where he asked about my skills and experience along with some behavioural questions and my interests. No technical questions.
Technical Assessment: offline tech assignment to build warehouse application for product management.
Technical Discussion: I heard that the discussion would be based on the solution I implemented in the assignment. But they asked very vague random questions. It was more like a stress interview. Few tech questions to check our general understanding.
Grand parent Interview: 30 mins interview with senior manager. Lot of behavioural questions and two general tech questions.
Follow up discussion with Engineering Manager: Follow up interview was scheduled for follow up discussion but it got canceled last minute and got the offer after two days.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
About technical experience
CI CD questions and other
The technical challenge was way harder than other companies. The recruiter was nice and great with communication. I didn't move forward due to having too much difficulty with the technical challenge.
