I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Crossover for Work (Campo Grande, ) in Feb 2018
Interview
You start by taking a test with around 80 questions, they range from generic programming questions to questions specific to your role, they include multiple technologies as well, I had to answer questions about NoSQL and some Apache technologies; If you pass the test (the result comes right after you finish it) you will start a set of different tasks to complete, which include recording an audio presenting yourself, some job related questions like something you learned from your past jobs, two code challenges where you need to improve the existing code to reach some expected goal; After all that they send you an e-mail saying that they will contact you until the end of the next week, if they don't it means you didn't pass. After the contact you join a pool of candidates where managers will look for and then they start scheduling interviews with you. You do the interview and choose which manager you will work with.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Crossover for Work in Nov 2018
Interview
A few rounds.
Last round is the hardest and the most important.
You need to be top notch for sure to join Crossover.
All negative reviews are based on rejections, mostly. Keep that in mind.
I applied online. I interviewed at Crossover for Work (Boise, ID) in Jan 2019
Interview
The interview was an all-day interview process, all online if you declined to go through the "group" process.
You completed an application, several math and IQ tests, a personality test, an English evaluation (recorded yourself answering 5 questions, then submitted it); then a written evaluation where two of the 10 questions required you to record yourself doing 2 separate presentations (for a made up company) for the CEO and the Sales team. (I only answered 2 of the 10 questions and they were related to writing a complete marketing plan and a complete staffing model including KPIs for each staff member).
After spending 3 hours trying to complete the online requirements (before you could actually talk to someone), I did not complete the application when I came to the questions where you had to record yourself giving two presentations. I did not know that would be part of the interview and wasn't prepared. I saved what I had completed and decided I would go back later to complete (absolutely an option).
Then I read the Glassdoor reviews and decided this might be a scam. This was the same day when I had completed the majority of the application but not all.
The next day I received a "regret" from Crossover saying they had reviewed my application and had decided to move forward with other candidates. The problem is that I never completed it, so they could not have been able to review it. It tells me that they just sent a form letter and never actually looked at my application.
Bad experience. Will never apply through this company again. I think it is a scam of some sort.
