I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IKEA (Conshohocken, PA) in Feb 2024
Interview
The process was too technical and was more about situations and not about the role of the position advertised. The questions asked by the Hiring Manager were more situational and just 2-3. He did not explore conversation with me and ended the interview in just 10 minutes
