Pros

They leave you to your own devices to do what you need. There is zero micromanagement. They give you a decent base salary. One of the 3 founders means really well Founders are well connected

Cons

The product started as a marketing platform (look at their YouTube videos) that they repurposed for sales because the MarTech world was too crowded. They claim to use AI but have so much technical debt that AI wouldn’t even work on their platform No one can get a deal out of pilot phase and into revenue because the product is so bad. When a deal doesn’t get out of pilot, You will be blamed even when It is purely a product problem. They lie about their client list... knowingly 2 of the founders treat this as a lifestyle business. They all think they are smarter than the rest of the world. Did I mention no one makes ANY commission or sells ANYTHING. I was lied to about the top earning sales person. I was lied to about customer churn rate. I was lied to about burn rate (they have to be losing millions on millions every year) might be a tax write off of them.

Pros

I think the company 's pretty lucky to have hired resilient and skilled employees.

Cons

I'll say that overall, Collective's management is ridiculously cheap! From our pay and benefits, company equipments and supplies, to every little thing we see and use were paid at the cheapest price! But everyone and everything were overused and abused until they breakdown and that includes the people!
