Research In Motion Employer Reviews

Never know why work comes to a stop and your looking for something to do to fill your day. Lots to learn but there is a lot of people that will stop you from learning or RED tape or walls put up by people just for no reason. Management are idiots unless they put the time into learning the process finding the ups and downs, finding the root causes of – more... problems. Not demanding results and not knowing the idea why things are not going the way they are. People or co-works are great you will learn more from them, then the managers. They know what they are doing and without them you got nothing to show for it as a company. Saying good bye or the lack of it when its your last day or not even knowing its your last day the cooled part of the company where they lie to your face just before they let you go. – less

It was enjoyable to go to work, as people at RIM were friendly, helpful and great communicators. Learned about other countries as their were people there from across the globe working for the company.
There was learning on the job and people helped each other to learn the jobs and share in the experience of each of the new products that were being built.
At – more... times there were too many layers of Management and it took too long to get a quick decision on issues that occurred while working on a time sensative product.
The schedule for work was most satisfactory as it did balance work with home life and that was a great benefit.
The benefit package was very good with this company. – less

Multi-tasking, project management, coordinating with multiple teams, leadership skills, teamwork

A typical day involved ensuring that all the units that were put through passed every functional test.My managers and co-workers were pleasant and always ready to help. The hardest part of the job was ensuring everything was in order and making sure that all the steps were followed to avoid contaminating the units. The most enjoyable part of the job – more... was seeing everything come together and knowing that one had a hand in producing such great technology. what i learned from this job was the importance of teamwork. Each persons contribution however small, played a big role in the quality of the finished product – less

BB is a company full of talented individuals but with a level of maturity of that of a start-up as far as processes and best practices go. Management is by and large technically capable but lacks in knowledge of process and business savvy.

A balance of planning, planned, and unplanned work made this a very busy role, which did make work-life balance a challenge. I enjoyed the work and technology immensely, but it did consume me, and cut into personal time very frequently. Direct managers were awesome and supportive, but the higher-ups were less so.

A very enjoyable place to work. I had the opportunity to learn about build and repair Blackberry devices.
Good management and good co-workers.

Very exciting place to work. Lots going on. Cool to see your products in the news.

BlackBerry was Canada's high tech darling in the first decade of 2000. Now it is undergoing a transition and restructuring as it tries to recapture a place in the highly competitive mobile device landscape.
