Pros

Well the first time that comes to mind is clearly the pay, for Portugal what they pay is amazing, specially in my case where I'm just starting in the job industry. The people, i'm lucky that my team is great and the people working with me are friendly. The work is very interesting, i've learnned quite a lot since entering and will keep learning.

Cons

Maybe a con for some: In some cases you may have shifts, but they'll be accomodated to the best based on your timezone.

Pros

Listen guys, I can work in ANY timezone, any amount of time (up to 40 hours) a week. I hit start, and the clock starts going. I hit stop, and I walk away and take a break. This is allowing me to travel the world while I work. And the pay is on the higher end, though there are no options. I work with a great team, really smart guys. Lots of pressure, but that's expected in a C-level. We're innovating the concept of "Remote Asynchronous Work" in a way nobody has ever before. We've built the platform to do it, and it's working wonderfully!

Cons

Remote work isn't for everyone. If you need "daddy" to tell you that you're doing a good job, this definitely isn't the place for you. We all know our jobs, and know them well. There's no room for slackers, losers, or people who can't or won't do the work. There's also no way to hide, so if you're used to slacking and making up for it with a good narrative, you won't last long. Like I said, we've innovated the idea of Remove Async Work in a way that makes it actually WORK. For both the company, and YOU!

Thanks for your 5 star review! We pride ourselves on finding the best of the best candidates for our clients (which is part of the reason that the pay is awesome!) as the work can be fast-paced and demanding. We know that certainly isn't the right environment for everyone. Awesome to see you're thriving!

Pros

- Fully remote company (so no hassle of commuting) - Great pay (if you live in countries where the cost of living is lower) - Decent work opportunities (i've mostly liked the work I got to do on different teams. The company works a lot with AWS services, so good learning environment) - Some opportunities to get freely cloud certified with resources to prepare towards this

Cons

- No benefits besides pay (which is okay on some level because of the higher standard of pay, but as an employee benefits are always nice) - Lack of any sort of promotional pipelines (supposedly present but I know several people who have struggled to get promoted internally) - Apply as an external candidate for promotion (against everyone else and when you clear all the tests, interviews at which point external candidates get the role, you are also evaluated for your performance in the last 12 weeks) - Candidate performance evaluation is heavily metric-based but I dont think this works as you'd like. Some engineers tend to focus on metrics over quality of software which cannot be the intention of your evaluation process - No on-site meetups once a year etc. Can result in alienation of members in a team where people only interact about work and get off zoom calls

Hey, thanks so much for the review! We appreciate the feedback around promotions – we're working to make this process easier for existing workers. We would like to address your feedback around benefits. It's important to understand that because independent contractors aren't employees, they don't accrue benefits like paid leave. This is true globally and not just at Crossover. It's one of the big reasons why the pay is so high – we deliberately overcompensate so workers can typically afford the healthcare packages and vacations that they would have expected in a salaried position.
