      Business Strategy Manager Interview

      10 Feb 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Richmond, VA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Jul 2021

      Interview

      The company was honestly a bit off putting. The process to get the initial question is general logic based questions and behavioral questions via a test that takes 45 minutes of your time. So there is a bit of a weeding process out the gate. This is a ludicrous idea given the job market today and I found that it not only chewed up time, but won't prove anything in the end for candidacy. There was a case interview for this job and the interviewer came off as smug. When asked why do you like working here I was given the answer "because you get paid to be smart". In my opinion, an answer like this would prove the exact opposite of someone who is smart and somewhere with a tolerable culture. Unfortunately, the process was effectively a waste of time for a company that sells used cars.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There will be a logic/behavioral test to get an interview. There is a fielding intro interview followed by a test with a "manager" although I'm skeptical on leveling. There is a case interview surrounding where to place a CarMax dealership based on variables that have to do with town planning. The value of a property will decrease substantially if a bill is passed, but may yield a better location for the dealership vs the more expensive land location that has to do something with a build for a bridge project.
