If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at Carvana?
Meilleure réponse des employés
It starts with the people, favoritisms should not be allowed and freedom for people to pick on you should be banned. The reviews about working in some places are very very accurate about management lacking professionalism. The rudeness is definitely true. Maybe focusing on an ability test for character would be good like other major corporations do to make sure you are hiring the right people for the role.

What's the interview process like at Carvana?
Easy as long as the manager(s) like you, like most small jobs are.
Suck, it takes forever to get hired from the time you get the interview
There are at least 3 steps. First a culture screen with a recruiter, and then a phone screen with the hiring manager. And if those go well, then candidates are brought to HQ for an on-site interview with multiple people on the hiring team. Questions are meant to review skill aptitude, culture fit, and corporate behavior.

4-10 hour shifts scheduled ( typically you will work 6-8 hours), 3 days off
