Pre-recorded video interview first where most people apparently get screened out then a 30 min phone call where we talked about my experience for 15 min and then they got into an algorithm question about linked lists and reversing them. And wanted to know why Thomson Reuters and what my least favorite class was, pretty weird question. Got a HackerRank after that with 2 coding questions

Communication during the process was inconsistent, had to follow up a couple times to get status updates. HackerRank assessment then an interview about past projects. The project discussion was interesting at least, they had good questions about my methodology

Manager covered situational questions, one about choosing between doing the right thing vs company policy, that was a weird one. Wanted to know what I knew about the legal and media industry and Thomson Reuters specifically. Then the follow up round with another manager was the same questions rephrased. Would have been nice to get more concrete feedback because they seemed positive but then I got the thanks but no thanks email two weeks later
Questions Asked
1.“Why Thomson Reuters specifically”
2.“Whats the difference between synchronous and asynchronous code? When do you use each”
