BlackBerry's three-year-long internal restructuring process is now "completed," according to a leaked memo obtained by Reuters, and the company could soon begin hiring again in some areas.
"More importantly, barring any unexpected downturns in the market, we will be adding headcount in certain areas such as product development, sales and customer service, beginning in modest numbers." The prospect of BlackBerry beginning to take on new employees follows a series of job cuts over the past year, the most significant of which laid off around 4,600 employees.
The news comes eight months into the tenure of Chen, who recently expressed confidence that BlackBerry could break even in its current fiscal year, and become profitable in the next.
What does the end of BlackBerry's "restructuring" period mean for the company and BlackBerry fans? Sound off in the comments and share your thoughts.
