I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Bolingbrook, IL) in Oct 2012
Interview
Hiring can take a while because your online application needs to go through the central office before it reaches the hiring manager. If you know someone who works there already, it's a good idea to network your way in faster, managers can pick someone specific instead of relying on the office's recommendations.
Virtual interview. Questions come up, you get some time to answer. Around 4 questions total. If you’re successful you then move onto a call with a manager where you discuss more questions and company culture
