I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at CARVANA (Tempe, AZ) in Jul 2018
Interview
Very much the same as others have posed about.
Applied on company website and a month later received an email to schedule a phone screening. The screening lasted 10 minutes and half the time was spent discussing the position. I was told my information would be passed on for an in person interview, and a few days later got an email saying they've decided to proceed with other candidates.
The conversation felt very rushed and left me with the impression that I wasn't an acutal candidate from the jump, seems like a box check requirement for the recruiters.
I would express caution when applying to Carvana. If you are anything like me you will spend time researching and preparing for the opportunity, and I can tell you that effort and your time is not respected.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CARVANA (Concord, NC) in Oct 2025
Interview
1. Company doesn't know how to evaluate talent.
2. Screening process normal, HR friendly
3. In person Interview was unprofessional. Dress code even for blue collar was cotton shorts and a raggy T.
4. Knew more about Lean, Production, Operations, and leading teams.
Interviewer would repeat things after I said them in the interview.
5. Leader believed the entire facility would be running smooth in two weeks. To properly implement 6S it will take 3 to 6 months if done right.
6. Impersonal non-selection email with no reason. Guess is overqualified or agism.
Fairly easy, especially for the manager position. Simple questions and not enough vetting. It goes from recruiter to hiring managers to job offer. From there, it is little to no communication leading up to first day of the job/training.
I applied online. I interviewed at CARVANA (Virginia Beach, VA)
Interview
Phone interview went ok. Did not receive a call back. Seemed to want someone willing to work 70hours a week. Probably could tell that was not for me. Otherwise friendly
