Sudden LayOff - Software Engineer Cross Country Employee Review

Work from home, flexibility and commission

Taking on too many responsibilities beyond your primary role simultaneously can create challenges.

Remote first environment, co workers are great.

I genuinely wanted to build a long-term career with the company. Unfortunately, my experience was impacted by repeated instances where commitments made by leadership were not followed through. Within the Enterprise Sales division, I observed significant leadership and organizational challenges during my time there. Communication around compensation, commission plans, and career advancement was often inconsistent. There were multiple discussions about updated commission structures, increased earning opportunities, and promotional paths that ultimately did not materialize, which made it difficult to maintain confidence in leadership. I also perceived inconsistency in how employees were evaluated and retained. It often appeared that personal relationships influenced opportunities and employment decisions more than performance, which negatively affected morale across the team. It’s disappointing because I believe the company has talented people and strong potential. I truly wish my experience at Cross Country had been different.
