It's who you know at Thomson. The rest are just more formality. It really depends to the hiring manager.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Thomson Reuters (Eagan, MN) in Aug 2012
Interview
HR will contact you. Then you will have a series of interviews with various teams and team members, including engineers, managers and in some cases even directors. This can take up to 3 months. Usually, the engineers will have the most technical questions and most of them are pretty fair in the questions that are asked. Situation based questions along with a serious of technical questions. As you go up the chain with managers and directors the questions, at times, become a bit obscure. Some of those questions come directly from Google. LOL. But all in all a decent experience but definitely a long one.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
(1) Tell me about yourself
(2) Various scenario based questions.
(3) Most of the time the questions are specific to what TR technology is around and not around your resume.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thomson Reuters (Buenos Aires) in Feb 2012
Interview
Me llamaron por telefono, despues me entrevistaron varios veces como normalmente es siempre en cualquier empresa, no note nada en particular. La gente de HR es amena, y la gerencia tambien. No hay psicotecnico, solo examen preocupacional. A veces el proceso no es claro porque estamos en Argentina.
