I applied through university. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Nov 2012
Interview
I submitted my resume through my school, and was contacted for a first-round phone interview, which consisted of behavioral questions and a problem-solving case (pretty simple math). Then, I had to complete some online behavioral and cognitive assessments. The cognitive section was mostly data reading/analysis. I was then invited to final round interviews in Richmond, where they took me and the other candidates out for dinner and a brief city tour the night before. For the interview day, they had our individual schedules planned out for the whole day, which included a campus tour, couple of behavioral interviews, a problem solving case, a group business case, an individual presentation based on the group case, lunch, and drug test. It was a long process, but the people were all friendly and helpful.
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.

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