I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Kennesaw, GA) in Jan 2019
Interview
I was referred by a current employee. I applied then receive a call a week later. I interview with five different mangers. 30 minutes total time for each interview. The first interview was over the phone. Then I was invited to do a in-person interview. The first set of mangers was easy going. They loved me and wanted me to interview with their Senior managers. Then another manager call to do a phone screening. Very long drag out process.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
It was a simple straightforward process. They primarily want to know your ability to be solution oriented, diffuse situations and customer service experience. The managers were very well mannered. They also wanted inquired about your personal likes and hobbies to assess if an applicant is a goof cultural fit. This particular location really prides itself in creating a supportive staff environment.
First there was an online math test and then a behavioral interview. Following that there was a case interview. My assigned HR person told me to be ready with a pencil, paper, and a calculator. Then, when I was on the phone for the actual interview, the interviewer told me no calculators allowed. I was thrown for a loop and it threw off my entire interview. The problems were pretty computationally involved.
