Interview
The interview process quite literally took more than half a year. It felt very cumbersome and above all else, very disorganized. To be successful, one had to be proactive in staying engaged with the recruiters.
There was a combination of phone interview screening, one-on-one with hiring manager, then with a director-level and finally a peer panel interview to understand your fit within the team.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at BlackBerry (Waterloo, ON) in Dec 2012
Interview
There was an application process from internal candidates and a team lead for each of three departments being interviewed. The interviewers were the managers of each of the three departments and the total process involved three different one-on-ones with people who were barely qualified to be managers themselves. After all interviews were completed they chose, by panel, the three team leads for the respective teams.
