I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Jul 2021
Interview
The company was honestly a bit off putting. The process to get the initial question is general logic based questions and behavioral questions via a test that takes 45 minutes of your time. So there is a bit of a weeding process out the gate. This is a ludicrous idea given the job market today and I found that it not only chewed up time, but won't prove anything in the end for candidacy. There was a case interview for this job and the interviewer came off as smug. When asked why do you like working here I was given the answer "because you get paid to be smart". In my opinion, an answer like this would prove the exact opposite of someone who is smart and somewhere with a tolerable culture. Unfortunately, the process was effectively a waste of time for a company that sells used cars.

Question 1
There will be a logic/behavioral test to get an interview. There is a fielding intro interview followed by a test with a "manager" although I'm skeptical on leveling. There is a case interview surrounding where to place a CarMax dealership based on variables that have to do with town planning. The value of a property will decrease substantially if a bill is passed, but may yield a better location for the dealership vs the more expensive land location that has to do something with a build for a bridge project.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at CarMax in Apr 2021
Interview
Phone interview where you have time to talk about yourself personally and professionally. You will be asked questions pertaining to the job and some about yourself as a person. Very easy going interview with very little stress.
Quick and easy, questions weren’t too difficult to answer. The overall experience was welcoming! Nothing really needs to be improved or worked on! Compared to any other company this interview was a breeze.
