Pros

Interesting technology Great teammates Work autonomy

Cons

Mass layoffs without any form of severence, and no visa support. We barely received our final paychecks, and those were paid out at minimum wage despite the employees actual salary. They told us the day before pay day that our pay was going to be delayed without an actual timeline of when we'd get paid.

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!
