The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Apr 2010
Interview
Emailed messages with a recruiter and then had a short phone interview with a current strategy analyst to find out about the position. Interviewed on site at CarMax with a manager. Initial questions to discuss background and then the 2 case studies. The case studies were a bit unsettling since the manager is timing you while you are working on the cases. After finishing up the cases, discussed how I've handled various job situations in the past.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a situation where you've used strategy analytically to solve a problem for a customer.
Basic behavior questions, walk me through your resume, why this company, why this role, why you are leaving your previous role. It's a video call. HR is punctual and friendly.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Mar 2020
Interview
Had to take two assessments beforehand, met with recruiter, then a case interview with a member of the hiring team. Assessments were long and tedious, the interpretation/visualization one was difficult, math was timed and it's designed for you to not be able to finish. Recruiter was a basic interview/screen. Case (details included below) was rather difficult if you haven't done that type of math in years.
I applied through university. I interviewed at CarMax in Jan 2019
Interview
Went through two phone screens and then a case interview over the phone. The case interview went very well, and the interviewer immediately told me he wanted me to come in and interview onsite. I received an email from HR to schedule an onsite, replied with my times, and then never heard back, even after following up. Very poorly handled.

Question 1
Case was about where to place a bridge, basically just calculating expected value
