Interviewed Aug 2011 in Eagan, MN (took 4+ weeks)
There were three steps to the interview process. The first consisted of a screening with the recruiter. He was a nice guy who gave some good advice for how to go through the rest of the process. The second step was two half-hour sessions. This was a lot behavioral-type questions. What did you do when you encountered a difficult customer? Name a time when you made a fast decision, did not follow directions, etc. The third step is a phone sale. They give you information on a couple products and the goal is to get them to buy.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Eagan, MN (took a day)
The group interview went very well. The team was outstanding, very knowledgeable and professional. I then met with the HR Director. I impressed the team as well as the hring manager (who wanted to extend an offer) but could not get past the HR Director who felt that I have not had exposure to large companies even though I have recruited for Dreyer's/Nestle (280+k employees), Kaiser Permanente (164k+ employees), Baxter (95k+ employees)...all larger than Thomson Reuters (55k+ employees).

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Eagan, MN (took 4 weeks)
First round HR phone interview, followed by 3 onsite interviews. They were rather ill prepared for the interviews, since it was virtually everyone in the departments first time interviewing for interns. Since this facility is the old West Publishing location, many employees have long tenure and were acquired with the business.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Eagan, MN (took 2 days)
This was an internal interview for a position on a new strategic project. I already had experience with the hiring manager, so that was pretty straight forward. I then had to meet with the VP but that was just a formality because I'd already gotten sign-off from the hiring manager. Both interviews were more casual chats, talking about my experiences with the company and both had knowledge of people I had worked with in the past, so that made the interviewing process a lot easier. I didn't feel like a complete stranger during the interview process.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Eagan, MN (took a day)
The interview was a very casual process - I was given the opportunity to rank 3 different teams I wanted to interview with out of the 7 present. Those 3 interviewed me then I was given the opportunity to rank which position I would prefer.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Eagan, MN (took 1 week)
A co-worker at my previous company referred me because she knew the hiring manager (and received a message from the hiring manager saying she was looking for available recruiters). My resume was forwarded to the hiring manager by my co-worker and about a week later I was called by the hiring manager. We spoke about my background and such (a phone screen/interview) and then she asked me to come in for an in person interview on-site. It was a half hour with the entire team: the hiring manager, another recruiter, and a recruiting coordinator. When I got on-site, I was amazed at how large the campus is...it is a huge building. I had to check in with security and the hiring manager came down to greet me. She showed me around a little - in route to the Starbucks on the fourth floor. The four of us just chatted in a corner of the Starbucks inside Thomson Reuters. I thought it was great. The place was packed, with other people having meetings or collaborating. They told me this meeting was mostly for me so I could learn about them. They did ask a few questions about whether I used Taleo, areas I recruited for, and how I like to work. I asked them several questions about their recruiting process (in terms of me working there) and why they came & stay at Thomson. I was told they had interviewed others and had one more to go the next day before a decision would be made. It was pleasant and afterwards I was brought back to the front desk to check out.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
During the phone interview I was asked what my range was as a contractor...I told her I was a Senior Recruiter and what I was looking for but I was negotiable. The day after the in-person interview I was offered the position. She said this is a non-senior position (I wouldn't have that title), and she told me what the range was they were working with (their upper end was my lower end). They offered me the lowest I was looking for (which was the most they were looking to pay). I am glad our ranges matched up.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Eagan, MN (took 1 week)
Applied online directly through their website. Heard back within a week and they wanted to set up a phone interview. The phone interview was very laid back and I listened more than I did the talking. They wanted to tell me about the position and how it was different from their typical roles on their FP&A team.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Eagan, MN (took 3 weeks)
I had a preinterview screening by the HR contact, and was then brought in for an interview with 3 technical staff members, and then the hiring manager and one technical staff member. The questions asked covered both technical and your typical interview topics. I had recently left a position elsewhere, and was not probed for details for my departure from the previous position(which had not been a good match, but had been a great exploration for me).

Interviewed Mar 2007 in Eagan, MN (took 2 weeks)
I was initially contacted over the phoen by a recreuiter with a bunch of screening questions, who also ended up scheduling follow up interviews for a 1:1 with peers and then a 1:1 with the hiring manager.
The culture here generally indicates that they treat internal candidates with preference over hiring an outsider. The 1:1 interviews with the peers was to assess fit and suitability since this position involves a large amount of cross departmental interfacing. teh 1:1: with the hiring manager was a more technical where they discussed past experiance and specific skills.
