      Senior Manager Interview

      15 July 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Richmond, VA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      Submitted an application online which included an online assessment. I was then contacted for a phone interview (about 45 min). I was then invited in to speak with 3 executives and lunch. I was invited back for an additional round of interviews with a top executive followed by lunch with what would be a peer. Additional "testing" such as math and logic was also part of the process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why are you interested in this position? What was a difficult situation you had and how did you overcome it? There was ""logic" and "what would you do" questions too. Skill based.

      Senior Manager Interview

      2 Apr 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Raleigh, NC
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at CarMax (Raleigh, NC)

      Interview

      From the outset, the external recruiter Experis used by the company lied about compensation expectations which I refused to give before even talking to anyone. The initial job application required an immediate IQ test of questionable legality, followed by a long cycle of interviews where different parts of the company which they used to ask about their current technology problems, essentially using the applicant as an unpaid technology and strategy consultant. The experience was crowned by piling on responsibilities for multiple failing teams, in a role reporting to the current failing manager, with a low-ball compensation offer exactly matching the made-up number initially entered by the recruiter Experis. The same recruiter repeatedly cold-called without permission and orchestrated a group call where multiple participants attempted to pressure me into accepting the low-ball offer based on a number they made up in order to please their client. All in all a terrible experience. After an email describing my value, I was ghosted and ended up accepting an offer with literally 4x the compensation corresponding to my level of experience.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax

      Interview

      Disrespectful of candidate's time. Long and drawn out, weeks between contacts from the recruiter. Requested a case study based on a two sentence prompt. Ridiculous process. Seven interviews and hours wasted to be sent a form rejection email. Save your time and your intellectual property.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Mostly conversational or specific to the case study.
