I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at IKEA (Winnipeg, MB) in Apr 2016
Interview
- group interview
- we were partnered into pairs and we had to interview & present our partner's answers to the basic questions (name, why ikea, which value they connect with the most, an interesting fact)
- afterwards, we waited in the room until our name was called for the one-on-one interview the same day
- everyone was super nice, and not intimidating at all. they made you feel like they want you to work there, rather than vice versa
- got an email the next day saying I didn't get the job
