      I worked at BlackBerry full-time for 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.

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,
