TRUST GLASSDOOR RATINGS. THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS THIS CODE MILL HAS HERE ARE WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS.
I applied for a Software Architect position and was given an online portal that has interview stages. The real interview starts at stage 3 which they call Cognitive Aptitude test. Basically it's a series of 50 questions asked on a 15-min time limit. According to them, they claim that those questions, which are by the way a bunch of puzzles and simple mathematical questions which while not difficult may still require you to use something like a calculator, which of course you are not allowed.
They themselves know very well that it's almost impossible for you to complete the questions in a 15 min time span and they even state this before the test begins. They claim that you won't be penalized for any wrong answers but that's where the first penalty comes. This just shows the amount of SHEER DISHONESTY that is part of the standard operating procedures of crossover. When you fail to reach their cutoff mark for that "cognitive" test, immediately the test ends, you get a screen in big bold red writing stating "YOU'VE FAILED".
I've done interviews with some FAANG companies, plus many other companies of different sizes, but I've never seen the kind of utter stupidity portrayed by the crossover interview process. This kind of interview process which is meant to trip anybody who doesn't piece up puzzles of shapes in record time not only exposes the "cool company" nonsense that crossover claims to be, but also lays bare how broken the company is. The methodological approach in which proper software is developed doesn't bear any semblance with what they are trying to deduce from that piece of crap they call aptitude tests. And I state this with confidence as someone who's done a lot of technical interviews and I've seen how they don't have any relation with real-life software construction process.

It starts with very basic questionary and then you need to implement rather significant project with sophisticated requirements limitations during 72 hours after getting a task. You also need to record a video with instructions about your result.

Didn't have one. Was just a bunch of multi option questions and some amplitude test.
After that you will receive a code challenge to do.
Then you will be available to have a "match" with a recruiter or Manager

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.
