I applied online. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Apr 2021
Interview
Initial call with recruiter, case interview, then panel of interviews including case studies and behavioral questions. Turnaround was quick, just a couple weeks from beginning to end, but a bit odd that they cancelled the afternoon calls after the first three panel calls. Thought they went fine but I guess they felt differently. No feedback on why they rejected me, would have been a positive experience otherwise

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Mar 2022
Interview
Very organized interview process. started with a screening phone interview then a case study interview.
The case study interview is a phone interview which is not the best, I would prefer if it was on zoom or teams to able to share data easily

I applied through other source. I interviewed at CarMax (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2019
Interview
I was introduced to the company through a boot camp. The interview process began with the regular online application, which includes a personality test, IQ tests, and background information. Two days after, there's an online statistics test to be finished in 20 mins. The test is about reading tables and basic analysis, which is usually done in Excel. After this, there's another phone interview with an analysis question about choosing where to build a new store from two sites based on Bayesian probability.

Question 1
Choose the location for a new store from two sites, each with different budgets and expected revenues. There's a chance of a bridge will be built to reach one of the sites, and revenue will be different. Then one can choose to build a store or resell the land to reduce the loss after knowing the bridge connects to which site.
