I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York, NY) in May 2012
Interview
Briefly went over application and resume. I took some courses directly related to the department, but he only commented that it was "interesting" that I took those classes. Then I was tested on my knowledge of Excel and Word. The interviewer was friendly and even though I didn't know that much about Excel, he walked me through a couple of simple concepts, then tested me on how well I grasped them. I think he was trying to determine how fast of a learner I was. Overall easy interview and friendly interviewer, but I had to wait a long time before I was even interviewed. Poor communication between the main office, because he didn't even know he had an interview scheduled for that day. He said I would definitely hear something back, but I still have not gotten an answer a few weeks after.

I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Metropolitan Transportation Authority in Jun 2023
Interview
I spoke with a panel of three people. Questions were almost all technical based rather than behavioral. All of the interviewers were really nice and made me feel comfortable. What was frustrating was that it's been 4 months and I never heard back from them, not even a rejection email.
