I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Malmö, Skåne) in Mar 2022
Interview
It was very smooth, engaging. The questions were easy, standard interview questions. They mainly asked about my previous experience in detail and why do I think I am a good fit for this position .
It was a phone interview with HR for about 30 minutes. She was very passionate and a good listener. She introduced the job responsibilities first and proceeded to ask a few questions. Seems to be sincere with her answers about the company culture.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Just normal behavioral questions and questions about previous experience.
I first had a phone screening call from HR. I received the call 10 minutes after the scheduled time, and the call felt really rushed. The time block for the call was 45 minutes, but we were done in 15. I was cut off while answering the questions and overall it wasn't the best experience. After getting the rejection I saw the job was reposted on the job board a day later.
