Interview
Crossover is a company that knows how to grab attention in a highly competitive job market. With posts promising extremely attractive salaries ($400,000 USD / year), the company is able to lure an astounding number of applicants from a wide range of developing countries. But careful! Do not get caught in their spamming trap. Firstly, Crossover's recruiting method is shotgun marketing. They fire their job postings across multiple platforms, in countless cities spanning over 30 countries. On top of this, they continually delete and repost these positions to maintain visibility, essentially flooding the job market. While it might seem like they're casting a wide net to capture diverse talent, the reality is that they're spammers and predators. The company targets developing economies. Crossover uses the appeal of their hefty salaries as a potent bait. This aggressive recruitment strategy seems to generate more quantity than quality, They exploit the aspirations of people in these economies. The biggest drawback lies in the staggering level of competition. So just some rough numbers: they post at 5 job sites, in 30 countries, 5 cities per country, 30 posts per month, 10 job appplicants per post. That's north of 200,000 applicants for only one vacancy. Sure, if you're a top 1% applicant, you might feel optimistic, but consider this: even among this elite group, the competition remains fierce with approximately 2,000 contenders. That leaves you with a 0.05% chance of getting the job. Crossover's strategy of offering high salaries might seem alluring at first glance, but the sheer level of competition, coupled with questionable tactics, makes the promise of landing a job more of a mirage than a genuine opportunity. Don't fall for this trap!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You answer a 15 min IQ test, followed by two english proficciency exams, then an extremely bad designed "Business Acumen" test. Followed by a test for lawyers that measures Critical Thinking. Finally you answer two business cases. The first one is very basic reorganization and cost cutting exercise. And the second one is writting a prompt for ChatGPT. Both cases seem extremely simple compared the pay grade, which IMO makes it suspicious... Either they don't know how to design proper business cases as McKinsey, Bain, or BCG would do.... or they are simply conducting a Big Data experiment and the position is non-existent.

Interview
A Battery of Tests - 1) a Cognitive Aptitude Test, 2) a spoken English and written English test, 3) a weird Business Acumen test - that seems to focus mostly on accounting and finance, 4) a Watson Glaser Test (most often administered to law school entrants and graduates) and finally a "Real World Assessment" - that asked you to redesign a workflow and submit a link to a Google Doc. After spending 6 hours of my life on these tests and the service redesign - received a rejection with no feedback. But most importantly they didn't even review the service redesign document that I submitted (I know because I checked the viewing activity on the Google Doc!!!!). So bottom line completely useless waste of time - In my opinion, they are simply trying to collect real-world data for free so that they can fine-tune some generative AI to screen and grade applicants. DON'T BOTHER!!!!
