At an office, you can just resort to asking the guy sitting next to you for help with the problem. Or forgot that Autosum formula in excel for that fiscal year budget calculations. Suppose you got stuck at a piece of function you are writing during that Java Project you've been assigned to. With colleagues being from different time zones, it's difficult to ask for their help when in a fix. Meh, not everything's rainbows and sunshine out in the field.ĥ. You can always sleep afterwards, regardless of how inconvenient it may be. And your client might expect a report or a phone call from you at that hour.Īt such times, you just have to compromise, man-up (or woman-up) and make the call.
As is true for all remote working opportunities, your client might be active during the hours when you are supposed to be sleeping. This is a genuine concern and has no discernible way for the management to eliminate. Different time zones create a problem for the employee If you agreed to their terms, then, there's no point in disagreeing with it now.Īpart from that, McGregor's Theory X states that "the typical worker has little to no ambition, shies away from work or responsibilities, and is individual-goal oriented." If they are trusting you to do their work from miles away at the comfort of your own home, out of sight can you really blame them to want a little bit of closure?Ĥ. However, CrossOver did not force you to work for them - It was your choice to work here in the first place. I can completely agree with people on this point. Issues arise since it's a personal computer that the employee is using (which CrossOver did not pay for). I can see why this can seem a little restrictive. What this app actually does is, monitor your working hours as well as take a screenshot of your desktop and a snapshot of your webcam around every 10 minutes. Their strict monitoring policies are restrictiveĬrossover requires you to use their app while you work. So, it's also possible that one of their project requirements is more strict than the others.ģ. Different projects have different workloads. But one should also consider the project he's working on. So, as everything else in this world, this point really is subjective. Bringing your own lunch is a pain in its own rights.) etc.Īll in all, it pays well and it pays reliably on time.ĭepending on the nature of the Employee, one might consider writing a piece of article to be very taxing while another might end up writing millions of words and not have any qualms about it. Sure, you might earn more (emphasis on "might") working in-house at an actual office, but that's rarely true for most people around the world.Įven then, you're going to have to take into account the travelling expenses, travelling time (people tend to forget, time is money), time to prepare for work (getting dressed and ready), buying lunch (it's sometimes more expensive than eating at home. Those that do, must realize that for a remote work, this is as good as it can get for most people. No one questions their payment policy or their payscale. Moving on to the actual reviews from the people actually working at CrossOver, one will come across a few facts: Once you notice that trend, their reviews seem like nothing more than some rantings of frustration. However, if you try to look at these reviews objectively, you'd find that the negative reviews (that are calling CrossOver a scam) are coming entirely from a base of people who have failed their tests at CrossOver. Some are satisfied, while the majority spends their time cursing at the company. I will be pointing out both the pros and cons of working at CrossOver as well as give you an idea of what to expect.Ī quick search on google about CrossOver reveals some ambivalent reviews about this company. In this article, I'm looking at the whole thing objectively and am providing a neutral perspective on the company for prospective candidates. However, once people have tried to, or gone through their rigorous testing process, they would have a lot to say about this company. Almost everyone (at least from my Ethnocentric Region) wanted a piece of this cake. The lucrative advertisements of Crossover took LinkedIn by storm when it first came into the marketplace.
