Very short. Knew the recruiter from previously, so it was a five minute phone interview then a writing test and that was it. Everyone was really nice, test was tough.
I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Thomson Reuters (Washington, DC) in Nov 2013
Interview

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Thomson Reuters (Philadelphia, PA) in Jan 2008
Interview
The interview process was very professional and formal. I was immediately attended too upon arrival and greeted with smiles. An instant connection was made, and I believe that is key during an interview. Connecting face to face and preparedness is amongst one of the most important initial encounters when meeting a potential coworker, regardless if he or she will be working directly with you.
