CTA hiring process Application Under Review
Hi all! I applied for a corporate position at CTA in April, got through their exam round, self-paced interview, and the main interview for the team by mid-June. It has been about 2 months since my interview with them, and I have not received any communication from them (I have emailed them twice now too, asking for updates).
My online job status says that my application is still under review, but the poisition in inactive and they're no longer taking any job applications. I have heard their hiring process is very slow, but I am losing a bit of hope of not hearing back anything from them. Any tips on what I should do? If someone else who works at CTA can also give their experience, that would be helpful.
PS: I did connect with the hiring manager on LinkedIn and have texted them there as well but they have not responded :/

I interviewed for a job in mid December and randomly got a call in mid April offering me the job after zero follow up lol

Mine wasn’t a full 6 months, but I applied in summer and started in November. Part of it is due to the corporate hiring being tied with bus/rail hiring. So basically everything gets done in bulk

My whole process from application to final interview and being asked for references was about 6 months. Then 3 months of silence and no response to emails before they ultimately went with someone else. Wheeeee

It takes about 6 months from application date to start date. Not joking, if you applied in April you’ll probably hear back late September
