Interviewed Feb 2010 in Waterloo, ON (Canada) (took a day)
Initially I talked with the recruiter on campus who came to our university to promote RIM. I spent about 30 minutes with that recruiter and we went over some of the positions available at that time. After she went back to Waterloo, I received an invitation for a phone interview later.
The phone interview was conducted by both the technical lead and the team lead. The person asking those questions were the technical lead. After I passed the phone interview, I was asked to write a short skill test exam which involved two questions.
One of the questions was to write a linked list class in C# or C++ with the standard operations such as insertion and deletion of a node.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Ottawa, ON (Canada) (took 2 days)
First interview was with HR talked for about 30 minutes, projects that I had worked on and my contributions to them. Questions about solving conflicts between co-workers, types of managers I preferred.
2nd Interview was Technical interview
Couple basic questions about openGL, and a couple creative problems solving questions
Office seemed overworked, dull, not nearly the same environment as Waterloo campus.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 3 days)
the phone interview is quite straightforward, the HR recruiter went through the resume, my project experiences and skills.
Then I got a setup for onsite interview one day later. The onsite interview is quite technical. A team manager and team member went through my project experience first, with details on some technique implementations. Then they asked me some oop, algorithm and low level C programming questions. I answered all of them. The interviewers are quite friendly and easy to help.
I got the offer two days later and asked for background checking information.
