I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Sept 2010
Interview
I interviewed with CarMax a few years ago for a Strategy Analyst position. The interviewers were all pleasant and engaged in a mixture of case and behavioral questions. The case was simple and straightforward, far less rigorous than leading consulting firms. Behaviorally, they mostly wanted to get a look into your personality and also feel for whether you will want to work in their office locations.
Other Strategy Analyst interview reviews for CarMax
Basic behavior questions, walk me through your resume, why this company, why this role, why you are leaving your previous role. It's a video call. HR is punctual and friendly.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Mar 2020
Interview
Had to take two assessments beforehand, met with recruiter, then a case interview with a member of the hiring team. Assessments were long and tedious, the interpretation/visualization one was difficult, math was timed and it's designed for you to not be able to finish. Recruiter was a basic interview/screen. Case (details included below) was rather difficult if you haven't done that type of math in years.
I applied through university. I interviewed at CarMax in Jan 2019
Interview
Went through two phone screens and then a case interview over the phone. The case interview went very well, and the interviewer immediately told me he wanted me to come in and interview onsite. I received an email from HR to schedule an onsite, replied with my times, and then never heard back, even after following up. Very poorly handled.
