They use the standard CCAT online assessment developed by Criteria to pre-screen candidates. If you don't score high enough you are automatically rejected. The test gives you only 18 seconds per question, which is brutal considering that you usually have to read a paragraph and do some basic math on paper.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This CCAT assessment has a bunch of questions that test your English vocabulary. These questions go far beyond the words that you hear in the office. A lot of words come from legalese. This was a surprise to me because I heard that Crossover uses the same hiring process in 98 countries, in which case their vocabulary requirements should be restricted to the specific job domain.
The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Crossover for Work (New York, NY)
Interview
Very long interview process. I got exhausted and did not continue with the process. They asked about general English knowledge, some algorithm questions and a general capabilities test. Also a new feature development was a part of the interview but I got frustrated and did not proceed.
I interviewed at Crossover for Work (Washington, DC) in Aug 2020
Interview
The online assessment was tricky. I passed the first test consisting at a score of 70%, but for the second test (50 questions in 15 minutes), although I scored 86%, it was a "NO PASS". The questions are simpler than SAT tests, which involves simple pattern and maths questions. It does not have anything to do with skills I have acquired from prestigious education and 3 master degrees. It does not match with the renewed career skills required by the work type and position type.
The standard is inconsistent, and at a point I felt that I was used as an experiment towards the testing system. I wonder if there is anyone out there who has passed.
