![]() Please carefully consider this, the site and videos look great but the claims are untrue. This was a massive waste of time and highly suspicious to me. 3) The third role is still visible when I log in, showing my progress, and 'waiting to assign an interviewer for me', for the last 8 weeks. ![]() 2) I received confirmation that I had not been accepted for another role - after reaching interview stage, and without being interviewed. The whole premise of the site is that if you complete everything successfully, you get an interview. The system says 'congratulations for reaching the interview stage!' 'Hang tight as we are working to assign an interviewer.' Of the 3 roles I reached interview stage with: 1) simply disappeared with no contact, feedback or reason. I was informed that I had passed everything for 3 roles (skills assessments and Real work assessments). I applied for 5 roles completing 5+ hours of tasks. The site, roles, and videos explaining how crossover work all look great. If you're looking for an exciting, challenging, and rewarding career, Crossover is worth considering!įraudulent - view from MD of national SaaS business. If you are interested, focused, and hard-working, they offer fast career progression (doubling your salary) The team is incredibly passionate about its work and is always looking for ways to improve its products and services. There are many possibilities to move around within business units/departments, giving you experience in many business areas. Managers are brilliant and driven, very hands-on, and accessible. I feel challenged every day, and that keeps me engaged and motivated. You can learn a lot very quickly in a very short time. My experience with Crossover (been three for 2 years and counting) Crossover is a unique company to work for, not only because it is 100% remote but because it offers the stability and benefits of a large corporation combined with the creativity and flexibility of a startup. How are they processing this data? Now they have recordings of me saying 25 ridiculous sentences like: "Always wait for your manager to be in an agreeable mood before you ask for time off". How would I "cheat" at repeating sentences back to the microphone in a different tab? I understand maybe submitting a voice introduction video to prove I am a true applicant and not a recruiter, but this excerice seemed so sketchy and went on and on. Pretty sure this is far beyond what they need. And why do I need to share my entire desktop screen with them? GDPR insists that companies do not ask for more private data than they need to perform the service. ![]() As the last reviewer said, employees are not cattle. I got to the final question and decided to just quit, because I felt utterly violated and disrespected by having to do this ridiculous exercise, and thought, what would it be like to work for a company who believes in this? No thanks. ![]() I scored in the 95th percentile for their "aptitude test." I was then subjected to a futher language test, despite being a native English speaker. It's asinine to expect top professionals to go through this mind-numbing application process before even having a conversation with the company to understand what the vague "top paying" role actually even is. I would never want to work for a company that believes in this system. I'd be really surprised if companies actually find candidates with good ideas and a spine by employing this service. Thus, they are throwing out the baby with the bathwater-sometimes they likely land on good candidates through this process but they shoot themselves in the foot just as often. They just seem too lazy to really evaluate candidates carefully and on a case by case basis-even though I went to a top 20 school-who cares? Plenty of people go to less well known schools and excel in these roles and job titles. So just because you are an exceptionally good and fast test taker under extreme time constraints does not mean you are going to be a great data scientist or programmer where you often have to think through creatively through complex tasks. In the real world, you have hours/days not minutes to complete real projects and these questions or mostly trick ones that are not job specific enough to carry over on real data analytics projects. Here, you are only given 15 minutes to answer 50 questions-my overall score was not high enough to continue the process and when they said I could explore other potential roles other than the one I was initially interested in but was presented pretty much the same test which I had initially. I have taken many standardized tests in my day-IQ, SAT, and GRE and have generally scored in the top 10 percent. Stupid assessment which ultimately reflects badly on company
