Customer Reviews

Facing challenging performance feedback from my managers, Andrea at CREST Collaborative really listened to my perspective and validated my experience. She provided invaluable HR perspective on what might be happening behind the scenes and helped me to confidently understand my choices and craft an effective response.

—Meta Employee

As a tenured L7 at Amazon, I was unexpectedly placed on Focus despite exceeding my annual goals. I had the good fortune to connect with Andrea. While an employment attorney provided valuable guidance in terms of understanding how to best negotiate my exit 'package,' Andrea gave sage counsel on how to navigate the Focus and Pivot process based on her years of experience as a former HR leader at Amazon. That knowledge and experience with Amazon's internal process and mental model proved invaluable to my 'exit' strategy, which gave me the confidence and peace of mind to move forward in a positive way. I can't encourage you enough to invest time with Andrea to place yourself in the driver's seat of this process.

—Amazon Employee

Annual performance reviews often bring uncertainty without regular feedback. Andrea guided me in responding to a difficult review, establishing a clear system for setting goals, tracking accomplishments, and proactively seeking monthly feedback from my manager. A year later, my performance review rating went from 'Not Meeting' to 'Exceeding Expectations.'
