I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Thomson Reuters (New York, NY) in Jan 2014
Interview
I did a phone screen interview, followed by an in-person interview with two junior legal editors, then a take-home legal writing test. Those steps all went very well. Then, I was scheduled for another in-person interview (a few weeks later) with the head of the department. The first thing she said to me at the interview was that I had too much experience for the position and they were really only looking for candidates with 1-2 years of experience, but since I was there, she might as well talk to me. Needless to say, I did not receive an offer, despite my best efforts. Regardless, the people were all very friendly and it seemed to be a great place to work.
It was a very nice and smooth interview and onboarding process. There were 3 rounds, first a phone screen with HR, second 1:1 with supervisor, third a 1:1 with director-grade supervisor. Everyone was friendly and professional. Negotiation of salary with HR was also done professionally.
