I applied online for a position I should have been a very good fit for, and the status of my application was marked as "pending hiring manager review."

Over a month later, it was still marked as "pending review."

I was already wary of working for a large organization, and this only confirmed my worries. I had multiple offers before they even began their process, so I declined to proceed.

Months later, the job posting was still active, so it doesn't seem like they passed on me for someone else; it seems like there is no real need behind the posting.
