Business Outlook
Pros
high tech company, good enviroment especially if you don't work in manufacturing.You have the opportunity to follow RIM paid courses every year to improve professionally. You get your own Blackberry which is cool, and usually you get to test new models. Try to avoid the plant as is seen as a "cinderella" inside RIM and there are less opportunities for advancement.
Cons
Your work is not always appreciated by managers, personal likeliness more important then professional abilities. If you work on production line you have a weird schedule and you will work nights on regular basis wich is not healthy no matter what the management are saying.On the other hand you get a week off every month...
