I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Thomson Reuters (Beirut) in Dec 2013
Interview
First was a meeting with another senior developer and discussed technical details. We went very deep into the details to make sure that I knew what I was talking about. Discussed various ways to implement solutions. Next was a meeting with the head of technology department which was mostly non-technical questions but still relevant to the technology. After that was the final interview with the HR manager where questions were asked about personalities, team leading and conflict resolution. Not more than 2 weeks later I got a written offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q 1: How would you receive streaming data from one source and then display it on a website and keep the site updated in real-time ?
Q 2: If you are a manager and you have 2 members of the team fighting over a technical issue, how do you resolve it ?
It was a phone interview. It was supposed to be from the Technical Manager but apparently he was busy and some one from the team called. They did not even introduce themselves properly and started asking questions right away. Started asking about why I applied this job/my strengths. Felt like a company who does not value or take time to interview right people. Jumped into technical questions and was rushing to complete the interview.

I got a call from the HR with reference to my resume in a Job portal and scheduled a F2F interview on a weekend. The interview happened in the Yamlur road office in Bangalore.
Interview Questions
The interview process was good but the questions were too theoritical. For a 6+ years professional in Java/J2EE they had a couple of ladies with barely 3 years of experience in the panel.
1) What is the Servlet class hierarchy?
2) What will happen if you call Servlet's destroy method from init method?
3) Design a class diagram and write the high level logic for a game of chess
