I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA in May 2021
Interview
The process is professinal, and interviewers are nice. But Ikea digital hub don't pay much attention to the technology now, because most mangers prefer to flatter on their leaders.I think it's so bad, and if you don't maintain the relationship with your manager, you must be released some day.

Interview
First recruiter will reach out to you understanding experience and skills. Then the first round will be Hiring Managerial Round, understanding our core technical competencies and our mindset.
Then we'll get an assignment to complete, I find the assignment very hard, we need to complete in couple of days and push it github for them to review. Then there'll be discussion on that assignment, tradeoffs etc.
