Thomson Reuters Sr. Software Engineer interview questions

All questions were really really broad and open initially and then the manager asked more specifically if I didn't talk about the specifics he was interested in.

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 I found most of the questions were from a website in the list of J2EE interview questions. And these ladies were not ready to take any answer other than whatever they see in the website or think is correct. Please have people with good understanding on technology and enough experience in the panel
