I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BlackBerry (Waterloo, ON) in Apr 2011
Interview
Setup a meeting date with the manager of the team for the position of Application Developer, he asked me a bunch of profiling questions such as what I look for in a company or where I would like to be in a few years. After this the technical interview started, this was heavily database oriented, do you know the difference between different types of joins, can you create schema with so and so relationships, etc. After this was the written part (on a whiteboard) where I was given a problem solving question...something along the lines of "how would you go about finding out how many mechanic shops are in this city, doesn't have to be correct but mathematically take me through your process". After all this (roughly an hour interview) I received a call back two days late and accepted the job offer.

Was good one with multiple managers of different profiles. Individual background discussion, previous work profiles, education qualification discussions, previouss assignwmnt discussion, skills knowledge and and willing to learn etc, more timely process and good place to work
