I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CarMax (Nashville, TN) in Sept 2015
Interview
I applied through on-campus recruiting, interviewed on campus about a week later. First round interview was half behavioral and then a couple math problems. First one was fairly straightforward algebra, second one was a little more complicated. The math wasn't difficult it's just important to back up everything your thinking with a solid reason.

Interview
Recruiter reached out after applying on website. Scheduled a phone screen, after phone screen same day the recruiter reached out to schedule a virtual half day interview . This was 2 behavioral and 1 technical interview. They give you materials to prep for the behavioral interviews, but I would recommend asking the recruiter for details on the technical portion.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and why you're interested in the role.
recruiter may sound professional, but they are not. It's perfectly fine to tell the interviewer the truth, such as where you are not good enough, or that we require relocate, rather than tell them that you will schedule the next interview so that they look forward to it, then hang up the phone and send them a rejection letter.
