I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Nov 2011
Interview
Initial interview was on-campus. The first interview was 45 minutes and consisted of behavioral questions and a short case. The case involved calculating how many cars could be refurbished in a month with a certain amount of labor. The in office interview consisted of five interviews. The first four interviews were a mix of behavioral interviews and case interviews. The last interview was just a recap of the interview process and what you like about the process and what carmax could change to improve the interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you hurt a group members feelings and how did you handle the situation?
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.

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.

Question 1
Case was about where to place a bridge, basically just calculating expected value
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.
