I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (New York, NY) in Jun 2013
Interview
Group Interview, Introduce yourself then they give you various tasks to do as a group. Break the ice: meet other people in the interview room. Each group interview is different this one asked us for a marketing plan for a new item. Each department has different interview questions obviously; I know logistics asked the group to create a stack using straws.
You sit with a manager and they ask you questions about your past job experiences and other questions and then ask you take drug test if you pass. There is also a phone interview before the interview to determine if you go in for the job interview.
