I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in May 2012
Interview
Applied online through campus recruiting and only made it through the first round. The first interview was an initial phone screening for 60 minutes. The first part was behavioral, pretty simple general questions about your experience followed by an online test and then a case. I was not told that I would be completing a case in the first phone screen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case was a statistical analysis on betting for the superbowl, "what is the minimum that you would have to bet in order to have 50% chance of winning."
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
