I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BlackBerry
Interview
Interview was a 2 on 1 interview.Very team dependant. Interviewer will be your direct manager and interview totally depends on him. Straight forward interview with a few coding questions. Nothing too difficult. My interviewer was my direct supervisor and another person from the same team. Interviewers were casual and helpful. Over all a good interview experience.

Interview
The interview was more difficult than expected for a co-op role. Questions spanned multiple unrelated domains, with sudden shifts between topics such as embedded systems and web development. This approach felt somewhat unstructured and made it harder to understand what the team was actually prioritizing in candidates. Requirements to the questions were unclear.
