So, I was already working for the health department, which gave me some inside scoop, but everyone, even internal folks, goes through the same process for city jobs. No special treatment, just fairness. The first interview is always a phone call with the hiring manager, not HR. It's mainly to discuss the role, confirm your interest, and answer job-related questions. They might touch on your experience a bit, but the deep dives happen later. After that call, I had a Microsoft Teams interview with the team (the hiring manager plus two others). It was an hour long. They introduced themselves and then took turns asking questions. They had to finish up with other candidates. Luckily, I got the offer! The hiring manager sent the offer letter, not HR. It was a bit weird that the other team members were CC'ed since salaries are public, but it felt unnecessary. Once I signed and sent it back, it went to HR. After a week or two, HR contacted me for more info on the application portal. The city's hiring process is super slow, so seriously, don't quit your current job until you have a confirmed start date.

It was smooth. They did one phone interview and then a zoom interview. You'll hear back about an offer within two weeks. After that, you just need to finish your onboarding paperwork. Very straightforward

Had a phone interview first. Then, two in-person interviews. The first in-person was a panel interview with three people. The second was with higher management. Heard back about the decision within a week. HR was inefficient, so the onboarding process was long.
