      Sr. Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax in Nov 2023

      Interview

      Process goes: Interview with a recruiter whom preps you for all the other interviews. There is a tale home assessment which is super fair. Then the technical interview with 2 devs. Solve a problem whiteboard style. Then talk about different technologies and what their use is. Recruiter was amazing and help prep me, though I freeze up so I didn't make it past the technical interview

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      17 Jul 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Atlanta, GA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at CarMax (Atlanta, GA) in Jul 2023

      Interview

      Overall, an extremely unprofessional recruiting experience. I had a very positive impression of CarMax until the recruiting process. I applied for the position on LinkedIn, and about 30 minutes later the recruiter from CarMax texted me to set up a call for that afternoon. The agreed upon time came, and I got a text 5 minutes later stating he was running late, and we could do it at the top of the hour. The top of the hour came, and 12 minutes after the call was supposed to start, I got another text from the recruiter stating the hiring manager was pushing back my resume, questioning if I had any .net and React experience. I checked my resume, ".net" is mentioned 26 times, C# is mentioned 6 times, React is mentioned 1 time. The recruiter explicitly stated in the text, "We are a dot net shop." It appears that neither the hiring manager nor the recruiter read my resume. I clarified in text that yes, I've been working with .Net as my primary platform for long over a decade. The recruiter then set up another call for 9am the next morning. The recruiter ghosted me for the final attempt to have an initial call the following morning. I never heard from him, nor did I receive a text, even after I texted him to update my availability for the day. Note to CarMax: If you don't want to talk, that's fine, please don't waste my time, and be professional.

      Question 1

      Never got to interview questions because, despite recruiter setting up 3 calls, I never received one of them before being ghosted.
