      I have been working at BlackBerry full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      People are wonderful, very welcoming. Very diverse set of skills and abilities within the organization. Never short from learning on a daily basis.

      Cons

      Work-life balance is very difficult. It may be unique to my role given I'm in security and monitoring. BlackBerry has a hard rule from working from home which has only gotten more extreme. Before it was casual and if you had a good reason, I'm thinking some people abused the freedom we had. Unfortunately this has stifled my family life and I feel like I'm always in the office.

      Disapproves of CEO

      I have been working at BlackBerry full-time for more than 8 years

      Pros

      Decent training budgets for personal growth. Annual raises and bonuses have been paid out last few years following the company turnaround. Free snack program and paid phone.

      Cons

      Management has become clique over time, poor hiring practises, very little (almost none) growth in the developer space. Much of the exceptional talent seems to have left the company throughout it's turnaround. Little room for career growth and advancement.
