Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
I applied online and was contacted by email to schedule a phone interview by a manager. She was very nice, and the phone interview was actually enjoyable...we just talked about my experiences and curriculum. No technical questions there. She told me she would reach out and let me know if I was to move onto the next phase in the process within a few days.
A few days later, she emailed me saying that they'd like to bring me on-site to job shadow and interview. I had an interview with another manager in the department, mostly behavioral questions. Then I had a technical interview/whiteboard session with two of the senior developers...they were very manageable, if you've taken your data structures and algorithms/complexity classes you'll be fine.
They contacted me a week later with the offer.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 days)
Initial round of interview is a telephonic, hiring manager touched upon all basics, SSL handshake, how the process works in the current organization, Agile methodology, about automation, how much was I comfortable with each of the scripting languages, I can say pretty easy compared to other rounds.
Coming to one to one round, regarding lan traces, whireshark, the tough question(of course for me) asked was of writing the entire code of one of recent automation script I have written, some how I was lazy about it. a question about writing a script getting all the numbers of a file whose numbers start with an STD code and some unix shell scripts

Interviewed Sep 2011 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
Had four separate interviews with the HR manager, the manager looking for an assistant, the vp, and then with the manager and two other people. The process was a bit long - four rounds of interviews for an entry level position seem a bit much. There were no trick questions during the interview process, everything was very standard (e.g. what did you do at the last company, what can you bring to this role, etc.).

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took a day)
It's a tough interview, mainly b/c I didn't prep for the subjects they were asking.
They asked about how to write a program with classes to simulate real life objects. That was easy.
Then they went on to ask about Big O notation and its complexities and use them to optimize your approach to a solve a problem.
If I knew they were going to ask about that, I would have been in a better situation.

Interview questions were plentiful... many behavioral, opinion and competency questions such as:
What would you do in this situation? and What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Can you give me a specific example of how you did that? and What were the steps you followed to accomplish that task?
Can you give me a specific example of your leadership skills? or Explain a way in which you sought a creative solution to a problem.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Geneva (Switzerland) (took 2 days)
The interview process for me was rather simple. It consisted of about a 45 minute interview along with the HR manager and the Team manager whom I am currently working for. The questions where very general as you would expect in most interviews. They asked about previous experiences how difficult situations where handled and also wanted to see that I was proactive at preventing issues. They where both very nice and very detail giving.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 5 weeks)
Job description was extremely focused and a good fit on paper. Interview lacked any focus at all, included vague questions and meaningless anecdotes by interviewer. Took just shy of an hour. I was told I was a good match, and that we would proceed.....have not heard back, even after regular follow-up. Now receiving e-mails entitled posting other jobs at ThomsonReuters....are you kidding me?

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 days)
Interviewers were polite and considerate. You didn't feel like you're begging them for a job. Updates you on the process within reasonable time. The in-house recruiter also offered to help in future interest in the company when they turned me down. I feel like I would have liked the culture within this company.
