RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at BlackBerry full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Absolutely loved working there, the environment is very ripe with opportunity and the support provided by my immediate leaders was great. I was able to pitch an idea and see it come to life within my tenure which was awesome to witness. John Chen was always very welcoming and honest about where the company stood and thats what I loved the most, honesty with a gameplan.
Cons
None, I absolutely loved it,
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing!
