Candid interview. They want to get to know you as a person inorder to judge your managerial abilities. Problem statements were given and I had to come up with solutions.
I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Naples) in Jan 2026
Interview
Colloquio di gruppo con prova tecnica e successivamente colloquio individuale. Molto stimolante e ben strutturato. Gli esperti Ikea sono molto disponibili e gentili. Ti mettono a proprio agio e ti ascoltano con attenzione. Uno dei colloqui più belli che io abbia mai fatto.
