I applied online. I interviewed at CarMax in Apr 2022
Interview
Asked to do a cost analysis to buy land to open a store. Not allowed to use calculators or excel but algebra by hand. The problem is given to you verbally and is not written out where you can read it as this is a phone interview. Does not account for learning disabilities in the interview process.
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at CarMax (New York, NY) in Jan 2021
Interview
extremely unprofessional experience recruiter ghosted me on the initial interview, and I am a very understanding person I know things happen that are out of our control but then would not return emails for rescheduling and when I finally got to schedule a video interview the recruiter was uninterested the entire duration of the interview did not even bother to turn on face camera and was rude and condensing.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CarMax
Interview
When you fill out the online application, you must do an online assessment. The assessment takes about 20 minutes to complete.
Your first interview is with an HR recruiter for 30 minutes. The second interview is with the hiring manager for 1 hour, and this interview is a case study.
The case study has nothing to do with the role. You have to figure out if Carmax is making the right decision in buying land and building a Carmax store. You are given some data, but you must figure out if it makes sense to buy the land today or after the purchasing deadline. Finally, you will have to calculate how much Carmax will lose or make by purchasing the land today or tomorrow. You must calculate the profit or loss once you buy the land and build the store.
Again, this case study had nothing to do with paid search or marketing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Buying land, building a store, how much money is the store losing or making, and how much money the store is making based on the time you purchase the land.
