Mechanical Designer Internship at BlackBerry
No Offer – Interviewed in Sunrise, FL – Reviewed Apr 7, 2013
Interview Details – The interview was based only in two questions, and the last question was to give an answer in a concept of mechanical engineering. I guess was not bad for an interview with them. Unfortunately, no answer since then (at least from the company if I was accepted or not), however, the HR said that they choose a candidate and those ones rejected received an email notifying. Email which I never received and thank I wonder to ask, if not I'll be still waiting for a response

Then he just asked several questions about the resume. Then, he asked about the biggest coding project you did before.
