I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at CarMax (West Palm Beach, FL) in Sep 2021
Interview
Very fast and straight to the point. Only takes a couple days to get contacted for an over the phone interview, a couple days later they let you know if they want to do an in person interview. Both of the interviews are about 20 minutes. Once the in person interview is done they will contact a couple days later to let you know if they decide to move on with the process or let you go.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to display leadership skills.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax in Sep 2021
Interview
5 separate interviews. 3 of them were 1-hour back-to-back interviews with 0 breaks in-between. You sit on a call and wait for new leaders to come into the meeting and ask questions.
The questions themselves were fairly easy, but the interviewers were sometimes not good about asking for follow-up or clarification if needed. They also required hyper-specific examples of past experience, which was difficult to do over the course of 3 hours.
After the 3 hour interview gauntlet, I stood up from my chair and fell to the floor because I was lightheaded and dizzy from talking non-stop for 3 hours straight. If you have issues with being able to do this, I suggest not applying here.
