Research In Motion Employer Reviews

It was a great learning experience. I loved the job I had. I got to work with some amazing people.

Did not need the adrenaline rush towards the end. It was a lovely place till the time it was there.

I quite enjoyed my experience at Research In Motion.

A typical day consisted of providing software support to internal RIM staff. Our team (Software Tools & Systems) was responsible for maintaining many software packages: Atlassian Confluence & JIRA, Perforce, Code Collaborator, MS Project, among others.

Good place to work for in general with low stability lately because what is going on.
I have learned a lot form this company in the field of the R&D. the coworkers was so enjoyable to work with as well as the manager who was the director of the team. The most enjoyable about my job was the challenging part of it everyday something new.

Pay is above average and flex hours/telecommuting is available.

Every one in RIM is very professional and the work culture is amazing.

RIM is a very Innovative and fun Company to work in. RIM offers lot of incentives and opportunities for growth within the organization.

I looked at all the positive reviews and wonder if these other people worked at the same company? While gaining a lot of experience there I don't think I would ever go back.

So many people laid off recently to "save" money, while a great deal of hiring continues. Potentially ruining lives to look good in the media. Not my idea of a company who values – more... it's people.

The problem with having a revolutionary product is that everything looks great on the outside while there is chaos on the inside. When the product isn't revolutionary anymore all you have left is the chaos and hence the downward spiral. Duplication, mismanagement, poor and inconsistent leadership, and disregard for long term benefits over short term gains are not new to this company. – less

RIM is an incredible place to work with innovative, creative individuals who are passionate about what they do each day.

Was a fast paced environment with a lot of learning opportunities

RIM is a very fair company that treats its employees with respect. T

Large part of the workforce is very young. No real experience.

Had the opportunity to work with a great group of people, some of the smartest people I have ever met.

Enjoyed the troubleshooting process. Every call was something different.

I was hired as an electronic assembler. My job spanned both assembly as well as quality control. I had learned to build several different Blackberry products during my time there. My co-workers were fairly decent on the whole, a rare few were exceptional. The hardest part of my job was usually when they ran out of production for us to work on. However, – more... I did enjoy the work, when it was available. – less

overall an excellent company to work for. The company thrives on inter departmental exchange of ideas and solutions

I learned a lot at Research in Motion. My coworkers were very supportive and helpful.

I enjoyed my time there, worked for many great managers and with many other very knowledgeable people in various places in North America

have many employee social activities and e-collaboration tools.
