I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at BlackBerry in Jan 2010
Interview
I had a really negative interview experience and was really disappointed to see how disorganized and unprofessional the company was. After two phone interviews (1 with HR and 1 with hiring manager), I was asked to go for an onsite loop. Half the interviewers on the list bailed on the day of the onsite interview. I was asked to have another 3 phone interviews. Shortly after, I was asked to interview with the director where I had to setup the interview on my own. The interviewer bailed TWICE without ANY notice - both times, I had to email 5 minutes after the scheduled start time to find out that the interviewer could not make it. At this point, it was beyond my belief and had no choice but to send a professional confrontation about the lack of respect that the company has for interviewees.
