The process took 2 days. I interviewed at CarMax (Atlanta, GA) in Mar 2012
Interview
They flew me in on a Thursday night, put me up in a hotel for the night, and the interview started bright and early on that Friday. First they gave us basic info regarding the company and job we were there for. Next they began separating us in into one on one interviews. There were about five different people I met with, including three manager types. The managers presented me with various problem solving scenarios. If i struggled to come up with a solution they would walk me through.
Basic behavior questions, walk me through your resume, why this company, why this role, why you are leaving your previous role. It's a video call. HR is punctual and friendly.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Mar 2020
Interview
Had to take two assessments beforehand, met with recruiter, then a case interview with a member of the hiring team. Assessments were long and tedious, the interpretation/visualization one was difficult, math was timed and it's designed for you to not be able to finish. Recruiter was a basic interview/screen. Case (details included below) was rather difficult if you haven't done that type of math in years.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at CarMax in Jan 2019
Interview
Went through two phone screens and then a case interview over the phone. The case interview went very well, and the interviewer immediately told me he wanted me to come in and interview onsite. I received an email from HR to schedule an onsite, replied with my times, and then never heard back, even after following up. Very poorly handled.

Question 1
Case was about where to place a bridge, basically just calculating expected value
