      Strategy Manager Interview

      7 Sept 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at CarMax in Sept 2021

      Interview

      Applied online and completed two long assessments, one was personality and the other was basic problem solving. After that I had a phone interview with a case, which was challenging since it was over the phone, but fine otherwise. Third round was five 1-hr interviews with breaks in-between. As other interviewees have mentioned, if you don't get a pass from the first 3 interviews, they tell you that the afternoon interviewers are busy and cancel. The recruiter says it's no big deal, "you already met with the important people". Unfortunately, this happened to me. They obviously don't owe their candidates anything, but it would have been nicer if they were honest about the "cancellations" instead of lying. Left a bad taste in my mouth after what was generally a decent process.

      Strategy Manager Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax in Aug 2025

      Interview

      Call with recruiter, one case and a couple behavioral in first interview, then 2 more cases and behavioral in super day. Overall 5 hours of interviewing. Pretty much the same experience as everyone else, one interviewer didn’t show then had to reschedule and find a way to squeeze in later in the day. Job is listed as Dallas, Atlanta, and Richmond. Interviewers checked out when I said I wanted to work in Atlanta not Richmond. Overall weird, had one interviewer give me his background for 15 minutes then tell me “don’t tell me about your background you can do that in the other interviews.” All interviewers had been with the company for 15+ years and seemed a bit insecure about it to be honest. Also could not figure out what the job was, super vague posting, asked questions about the job and they never told me what the specific role was. Really weird. Anyways good practice.

      Strategy Manager Interview

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at CarMax

      Interview

      It started out with a initial call with the recruiter to see if it was a good fit. Then it went straight to a case with someone currently in that department. They made you do mental math without a calculator, with someone with many years of professional experience in advanced math and analytics I found it silly to have to preform mental math when I have spent years using R, SQL and Excel. I also found it a little strange that this position has been posted for over 2 years... Clearly they don't really want anyone in this role. This is Carmax and not a FANNG company and they should start acting like it.

      Variation of the secretary problem. I wish I knew nothing about the problem going in though.
