      Strategy Analyst Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax

      Interview

      Basic management consulting style interview, only at the far lighter end of the spectrum. A basic resume screening was conducted (likely only collected from certain universities), a phone interview took place involving simple behavioral questions and a fairly easy business problem, and then an in-office interview was scheduled. The final round interview I found to be moderately challenging from a case perspective, but quite relaxed in the "fit" portion. This spoke volumes about KMX's interest in getting the right people for their corporate culture, not just those who can do the work.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Combined quantitative/qualitative assessment of growth, development, and acquisition strategies. The case in question combined all the usual data analysis, synthesis, and chart interpretation with an intriguing spatial component. Be on your toes and expect something other than what you'll see stock from Case In Point. Still not nearly as hard as even the first round of BCG/Bain/McKinsey cases.

      I interviewed at CarMax

      Interview

      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.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      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.

      Easy interview

      Application

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

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