I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Jun 2016
Interview
Must apply online and take a personality quiz. The process takes at least 1 hour.
My initial interview was a phone interview with a Recruiter who asked basic questions like, tell me about yourself, why are you looking for a new position, why did you apply for this position, what is an area or skill you would like to improve, etc. Also some behavioral questions were asked (noted below).
After the phone interview, the Recruiter sent my information to the Hiring Manager. If selected, I would be scheduled for an in-person interview (with the Hiring Manager as well as a possible peer/panel interview) and some testing.

Question 1
Some typical behavioral questions like, Tell me about a time when your team resisted your direction (background, action taken, result), how did you handle a conflict on your team, tell me about a member of your team that you helped develop, etc.
Behavioral interview, Panel interview. They asked general behavioral interviews, if you Google the general ones, you'll be set. They're looking for teamwork, leadership, integrity and knowing how to handle those situations. Don't answer you don't have any examples for the questions.

Interview
The interview process is all based on prior experiance in the "tell me about a time when" format. You will interview with two different pairs of interviewers. Overall the process is pretty standard and they do give you time to ask questions as well. The tone was casual and they do take time to try to connect with you as an individual.

Recruiter and then Case study. Did not pass case study. I'm more of a take my time and not have someone hover so I was nervous and didn't do well. Did receive feedback from recruiter so that was a plus. I know where I need to improve so I'm ok with the process
