I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at CarMax
Interview
The interview seemed like this big thing, super professional, and technical, but in the end they just seem to tell you what you want to hear to get in there. They don't hold to the word.
Interviews were smooth and easy. In person interview was a lot of numbers and role play, seemed like it would be a metric driven position. Heard back the following week and declined offer as I received another offer else where, thank you
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Jul 2023
Interview
"Two" rounds of interviews = Phone screening with recruiter + 1-hour case study + "Round Two" which included a behavioral interview (which ended up being a normal interview) and two more hour-long case studies, plus another interview. In my opinion the case studies are a waste of time. I wish I had interviewed with a panel of people so I wouldn't have to repeat myself so often. I don't feel like the interview process showcased my true skills or potential. I felt more like a guinea pig or lab rat doing their tasks. After all is said and done, the recruiter called and said they're moving forward with other candidates. I emailed with a question about another role but got no response. A week later I see the same job post showcased on LinkedIn, making me doubt the honesty of the recruiter, and making me feel unfairly judged. Makes me wonder what the work environment is - maybe toxic, judging by this drawn-out and phony experience.

Question 1
The case studies involved calculating expected value, comparing options, and making a strategy in an auction.
