I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at IKEA (Burbank, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Interview with manager of customer service department and store manager. They call you into a room and sit down with 2-3 managers depending on what department you are applying for. And ask you series of questions and then they either offer you job over phone or not. But have to take drug test after interview. Same day I believe.

Question 1
Describe a time when you went above and beyond your duties
Didn't actually get an interview - however they at least sent an email acknowledging my application and invited me to a meet and greet a few weeks later. Disappointing, I hoped to at least make it to the next stage.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at IKEA (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2015
Interview
The interview is about 30 minutes and they ask a lot of situational questions. You interview at the store and it can be a little bit off schedule since the managers must monitor the cashier line while interviewing.
