Pros

They apply for the visas in a very efficient manner - streamlined and effective. Though, in the instances of H1B they withhold the outcome of your petition for longer than is practical. Accommodation provided was mostly very comfortable.

Cons

Unprofessional management with teething problems even in the 4th year of the program. Contradicting messages and policies across various areas and different members of the management team. Unorganized with policies changing even mid-program. Lack of clarity in policies and guidance.

Pros

Collaboration with a variety of professionals Coaching program Leadership program Learning opportunities Varied client engagements

Cons

In my time at the company, I encountered challenges with the performance review program and noticed a lack of commitment from leaders to mentor consultants. Despite providing thoughtful self-feedback, I observed that my input was often disregarded, and attempts to seek clarity on feedback were met with evasiveness. Furthermore, the process of documenting individual contributors' contributions appears inadequate. As individual contributors collaborate directly with client partners and indirectly report to the consulting team, there seems to be a gap in capturing feedback from client partners. It would be beneficial if the company implemented measures to ensure that a consultant's contributions are well-documented. This could lead to more accurate and comprehensive performance evaluations, contributing to consultants' growth and career progression within the company. While leadership aims to foster transparency, I noticed inconsistent accountability at the highest levels, which affects the overall work environment. Despite their intentions, a more structured approach to mentoring and feedback could significantly enhance the company culture. In summary, my experience highlighted issues with the performance review process and mentorship dynamics. I believe that addressing these concerns would contribute to a more supportive work environment and encourage consultants' professional development.

Pros

They pay for housing and pass the cost onto the Big 4 so you get to stay in great apartments. The hours were great cause you charge overtime so you get a decent bonus as well as overtime hours and pay. But this in no way compensates for their cons.

Cons

I found them very disorganized. They didn't know anything at most times. Seems the coordination team couldn't run a bath, but has to organize placements for a rapidly growing company. Didn't make sense. They were extremely difficult to deal with on a daily basis. Not knowing whether you would have a job the next week was really frustrating and to some extent worrying. The work was really boring - they are a body shop for Freddie Mac and the Big Four. When the big four need help Cross is begging to throw you under the bus for them. I'm very glad I'm not part of that system any more.
