I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Stoughton, MA)
Interview
easy and fast. it was in person and not intimidating at all. the managers were very two-sided and play favorites. would recommend a different position if you wish to keep your sanity.

Tell me a time you had to deal with influx of customers

I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Paramus, NJ) in Jan 2026
Interview
The manager was very kind and welcoming from the very beginning, making the interview pleasant and comfortable. Alisha took the time to clearly explain the interview protocol and process, provided clear instructions with patience, and answered all of my questions and concerns. It didn’t even feel like an interview, but rather a pleasant introductory conversation.

Question 1
Most of the questions were about experiences and values.
she asked me how would I treat a new coworker?
Phone interview then in person interview. Many questions were about dealing with pressure - seemed more appropriate for higher level job. Long delay between application and interview. Weirdly serious. It was unclear how the interview questions related to the job in question.
