      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      Had an initial interview with a recruiter, then a sit down with a team leader. Both were pleasant. Followed up multiple times after. Tried to be a grateful candidate, received no response or reciprocation. Seemingly decided I wasn't the person for the job, then discarded me. I was initially attracted by their corporate values of doing the right thing and putting people first. Turns out that's lip service. CarMax, whether someone is your top candidate or not, they deserve to be treated like a human and offered the dignity of updates/communication.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Basics - work background, relevant experience. Nothing exciting or creative.
      Answer question

      Interview

      Call with recruiter, one case and a couple behavioral in first interview, then 2 more cases and behavioral in super day. Overall 5 hours of interviewing. Pretty much the same experience as everyone else, one interviewer didn’t show then had to reschedule and find a way to squeeze in later in the day. Job is listed as Dallas, Atlanta, and Richmond. Interviewers checked out when I said I wanted to work in Atlanta not Richmond. Overall weird, had one interviewer give me his background for 15 minutes then tell me “don’t tell me about your background you can do that in the other interviews.” All interviewers had been with the company for 15+ years and seemed a bit insecure about it to be honest. Also could not figure out what the job was, super vague posting, asked questions about the job and they never told me what the specific role was. Really weird. Anyways good practice.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at CarMax

      Interview

      It started out with a initial call with the recruiter to see if it was a good fit. Then it went straight to a case with someone currently in that department. They made you do mental math without a calculator, with someone with many years of professional experience in advanced math and analytics I found it silly to have to preform mental math when I have spent years using R, SQL and Excel. I also found it a little strange that this position has been posted for over 2 years... Clearly they don't really want anyone in this role. This is Carmax and not a FANNG company and they should start acting like it.

      Variation of the secretary problem. I wish I knew nothing about the problem going in though.
