Application
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Thomson Reuters (Eagan, MN) in Dec 2010
Interview
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).
