I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax
Interview
Applied on campus recruiting site and was contacted within a few days to take an online math assessment. After that scheduled an interview on campus for the next week. Overall the initial interview was pretty easy and casual. Half behavioral questions and then one case study. Was invited to come up to corporate for a super interview day and that will happen in the next week or so but as of now all I know of that is that it is a few case studies and behavioral questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for CarMax?
Why the strategy analyst role?
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
