Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain the project you are most proud of. You can repeat what you have said in the presentation. What would you do differently? How would you improve it?
The process required a series of online task and competency assessments, which is standard. The actual platform and tests were straightforward and easy to use. These were followed by video answers to both hypothetical scenarios and personal motivations. Again, that is relatively standard and expected. It actually gave me hope that they were interested in getting to know candidates for more than what is on a resume/CV. I waited a few days without a response, and while I waited, I decided to look into the company more. As I started to do more research into Crossover as a hiring site, I learned that they have incredibly high turnover as a contracting platform. I feel like the job listings are not an accurate representation of the role and what the company actually requires. They offer appealing salaries but at a high personal cost. I chose to end the application process when I read that. I received the rejection email not long after (felt like I dodged a bullet). Some may say my negative review is just me being bitter that I was not hired, but I have received many rejections, and this is one of the only companies I would say anything negative about.

Question 1
I don't recall the exact phrasing as it was awhile ago, but they asked about a moment in my career of which I was most proud.
I applied online. I interviewed at Crossover for Work
Interview
The initial steps were: an English test, a cognitive aptitude test, and a coding test. And then they invited me to a face-to-face interview. There were also proctored versions of the cognitive aptitude test and the coding test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the English test, there were automated questions that measure your ability to listen and speak. In the cognitive aptitude test, there were lots of questions that needed to be completed in a short time. The coding test was 4 question challenge. In the proctored versions, you were expected to solve these tests while a proctor was watching you.
