I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Aug 2018
Interview
Multiple steps involved after you officially apply:
1) Online quantitative assessment (timed exam in a multiple choice format).
2) Recruiter phone screen with generic questions
3) 50min phone interview involving a case study - very quant focused
4) On-site interview with 1 behavioral interview an 2 case interviews. The cases are not traditional consulting cases but more of math based (I felt the experience was similar to Capital One's case interviews). There is also a lunch meeting but you will not be evaluated during this time.

Very quant intensive case study involving probability scenarios.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at CarMax (Murrieta, CA) in Aug 2018
Interview
The process was fairly simple, just completed the online application. From there I was called on the phone to schedule a phone interview and after about a week or so I was scheduled for an in person interview. Only thing I dislike was that I was assured I would receive a response of wether or not I was hired within 3 days but I never received any communication after that.

Question 1
Are you seeking a career or just a job in the meantime?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Merrillville, IN) in Sep 2018
Interview
Applied online. Fairly lengthy online application process involving testing, surveys. HR called to schedule a phone interview with a manager. Phone interview took about 20 minutes. Manager advised he would have HR call to schedule an in-person interview. Arrived at the appointed hour, about 10 minutes early - the person I was to meet with was not yet in the store. 20 minute wait. Was taken into the showroom and sat down at a computer, asked to fill out some more online forms. Once this was complete, waited another 20 minutes for the manager to arrive for the interview. He asked the standard "describe a time you did ___" questions. Went outside and did a sales presentation/demonstration on one of the vehicles. He asked if I had any questions, and I had several. We had a pretty good discussion about Carmax, the sales process in general, the Carmax method. Manager asked if I had time to speak with another manager, and I said yes. After another 20 minute wait, the original manager came back and said the store manager's schedule was crazy, he would have to call me. Three days later, I got an e-mail saying thanks but no thanks. Never got the call from the store manager. Sent an e-mail to the HR rep asking for advice on future interviews, what they thought I could do better, what to work on - no response. Second in-person interview I've had with Carmax in three years, second time they've said no after bringing me in.
