Pros

IKEA has very structured and well-established processes. Roles, responsibilities, and workflows are clearly defined, which creates a strong sense of order and predictability.

Cons

Tasks are often split into very detailed sub-steps, and extensive alignment across stakeholders is required. This can result in longer lead times and slower decision-making, especially for cross-functional topics.

Pros

Cool place to work if you have no other career options, as it is retail. If they paid commission like other furniture stores this would make things a lot better.

Cons

It's retail. High school mentality as to be expected. Work your butt off for them to never promote you.
