I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Thomson Reuters (Bengaluru) in Jan 2009
Interview
I was referred by an employee and and the technical and Managerial round went fine. For some reason the manager was not confident of hiring me and I was sent back. As there was no response for the next two months, I had given up hope, but then I got a call from the HR. Seems the manager had messed it up but I was offered after 2 months!
