The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at BlackBerry (Irving, TX) in Apr 2009
Interview
I was contacted by the HR rep for this position on 2nd week of Apr. Scheduled an on-site interview on 21st Apr. Interview was good, simple questions asked on Operating systems concepts. Interviewer was also very cool and kept me cool as well. Interview was for 30 min after which the interviewer offered me a chance to ask questions. After about 10 more mins, the interview was over and was also upto my satisfaction. May be i'll hear from them this week. Cant wait to join the team at RIM.
Good chill interview nothing crazy but yeah just ask some questions related to software engineering and that’s all it was imo. No
Big deal at all. At least 30
Words tho
Was good, detailed and laid out process. Communication was good and feedback on timely manner. Could have used more detail in job details. Professional panel during my visit. They did take a while to respond back and the process to completion was rather time consuming.
