Interviews were smooth and easy. In person interview was a lot of numbers and role play, seemed like it would be a metric driven position. Heard back the following week and declined offer as I received another offer else where, thank you
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Jul 2023
Interview
"Two" rounds of interviews = Phone screening with recruiter + 1-hour case study + "Round Two" which included a behavioral interview (which ended up being a normal interview) and two more hour-long case studies, plus another interview. In my opinion the case studies are a waste of time. I wish I had interviewed with a panel of people so I wouldn't have to repeat myself so often. I don't feel like the interview process showcased my true skills or potential. I felt more like a guinea pig or lab rat doing their tasks. After all is said and done, the recruiter called and said they're moving forward with other candidates. I emailed with a question about another role but got no response. A week later I see the same job post showcased on LinkedIn, making me doubt the honesty of the recruiter, and making me feel unfairly judged. Makes me wonder what the work environment is - maybe toxic, judging by this drawn-out and phony experience.

Question 1
The case studies involved calculating expected value, comparing options, and making a strategy in an auction.

Interview
Applied online, then did an assessment. Phone interview a few days later, then got scheduled for an in-person interview later that week. Easy process, the way it should be. I was offered a job on the spot.
