      Director Interview

      Jun 19, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Centreville, VA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at CARFAX (Centreville, VA) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      I had 4 interviews: - a phone screen with a recruiter - a phone interview with the VP that the position reported to - an intensive (but very positive/constructive) ~4-hour on-site interview with all of the position's peers, 2 of the positions direct reports, an external stakeholder, and the VP that the position reported to - another intensive (but again - very positive) ~3 hour on-site interview with all of the major VP/C-level external stakeholders that the position would be interacting with Throughout each of the discussions, ALL of the interviewers were very cordial (even friendly) and professional, were quite happy to answer any/all of my questions, and consistently asked very challenging - but very appropriate - questions of me. I was drained after each discussion, but extremely jazzed to see/hear/feel how real the amazing culture is and gain insight into just how well put together this company is.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Lots of discussion about how to balance the need for process to enable scale while not doing so for the sake of process and therefore harming the culture.

      Director Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CARFAX in Nov 2017

      Interview

      A recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn and we had a preliminary phone interview and then an in person interview. During the in-person interview, everyone was very professional and the organization appeared to have a very positive work environment. It was important to them to have a good operational fit as well as having the competency to do the job. I was on the fence regarding this position at the outset and it came through during the interview. They asked me about this and we had an open conversation. While they decided to go with another candidate, it was probably for the best for both Carfax and me. Regardless, I left with a positive impression of the company.

      Anonymous employee
      Centreville, VA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at CARFAX (Centreville, VA) in Nov 2017

      Interview

      After an initial phone screen with the HR recruiter, I was brought in for in-person interviews with the VP and several key directors. Everyone was welcoming and friendly, and both HR and the hiring manager were very transparent about the process at CARFAX, next steps, etc. I was contacted within the time frames stated for status updates, and I felt informed throughout the process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The interview team was interested not only my technical skill set, but also in my soft skills. Getting a sense of the cultural fit was a large component of every conversation.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CARFAX (Centreville, VA) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      Two phone interviews and half-day in-person interviews. During the last interview I was asked if I was married, had children, and where I lived (yes, I'm female if you were wondering). If I asked that in an interview I would be fired. Needless to say, I was off my game after that. The recruiter had great communications with me until she was informed I wasn't being called back. I found out I didn't get the job when I saw that she reposted the position on her LinkedIn and it came up in my feed. Inconsiderate since she had invited me to connect with her the week before.

      Question 1

      Prioritize the Carfax values.
