Pros

Better work life balance than big four, decent pay

Cons

Where do I even begin? I would give this place a 0/5 if it was possible. My time at CrossCountry was deeply troubling. The primary hurdle was the stunning absence of a clear strategic plan. Instead of a unified roadmap, the organization constantly experienced shifts in priorities, often contradicting initiatives launched just weeks prior. The disconnect between senior leadership's rhetoric and reality was perhaps the most demoralizing factor. Core company values were frequently and loudly emphasized in meetings and communications, yet the leadership simultaneously retained and defended personnel whose conduct was a clear violation of those very principles. This demonstrated a profound culture of hypocrisy: the rules and values were only for show, not for application, particularly when dealing with well-connected or favored individuals. The most alarming issue was the company's handling of serious personnel matters. Workplace harassment was a recurrent problem, and unfortunately, it became clear that senior leaders were ill-equipped—or unwilling—to address it appropriately. Alas, what a disappointing few years...my only hope is that someone does not make the same mistake I did....go somewhere else for work!

Pros

Some colleagues demonstrated actual competence at their work.

Cons

• Senior staff controlled which people received high-profile assignments and advancement opportunities based on personal relationships rather than merit or performance • Colleagues outside the established inner circle were routinely overlooked for roles and projects while less experienced people with better connections moved ahead repeatedly • I brought relevant qualifications and took on difficult assignments, but my career progression stalled because I lacked the relationships that mattered for advancement • Career development conversations and advancement decisions happened without transparency or input from those being affected, determined entirely by people in charge • The organization made no effort to acknowledge the pattern of favoritism or implement systems that would ensure fair consideration for all employees
