What is the hiring process like at City of Toronto?

Decent Pay and security once hired

Disorganized and poor communication in hiring process

Training and advancement opportunities of new technologies.

Tough assessment for hiring process.

Government job relatively stable work

Complicated onboard process and other procedures

Excellent place to work for all ages and abilities

Application process can be a bit difficult for new hires

Full time, great team environment

Senior Management, hiring individuals with lack of experience to do the job

Based on my experience, I would not apply for a job here.

The interview with the hiring managers was virtual, which tells me a lot about the workplace. If they are afraid to show themselves in person and invite the candidate to see their premises, the culture must be lacking transparency and is probably quite cold. Any workplace that keeps their candidates at arm's length lacks depth and does not value its employees. At the beginning of the interview, the HR rep read a script about the interview procedures - she rushed through it, as if it was something she needed to get out of the way. First poor impression: incapacity to speak freely. The rest of the interview was very scripted too, and both the HR rep and the Hiring Manager seemed stressed and tired. I have never experienced anything like that in my life. You would think that government offices would have more professional hiring practices, but it seems they don't.
