Collective Measures Reviews

Above all - leadership. Or should I say lack there of. I've never been treated so disturbingly in my life. You are not treated as an adult. You treated as scum whose sole job is to be there so the executive team can put you down at every opportunity to make themselves 'feel better' - the truth is they are miserable, unhappy, insecure and entirely unprofessional. You will retract in your career and professional growth if you unfortunately become employed here. As for work-life balance? Forget about it. You're expected to be on-call at all times. If you have kids? Well you can also forget about family time. The only "family" time they support is for their own benefit to post on social channels about bringing your parents to work - which lets be honest, I'd be embarrassed to introduce them to the "executive" team.

- Low pay that the company tries to justify with paid health benefits and the occasional free meal or outing. - Zero opportunity for advancement. - Meaningless and unfulfilling work that still must be micromanaged by the executive team. - Only hearing how badly the executive team treats people after someone really feels comfortable that you won't rat them out. - Getting conned into thinking you're working for a moral company rather than one led by mean and short-sighted people who aren't even good at what they're supposed to be doing. - Apparently they got rid of the contracted services who were acting in an HR capacity and brought everything in-house. I left this company a while ago and avoided writing a review until now. After hearing about a particularly cruel situation involving the executive team, curiosity got the best of me and I decided to check out their Glassdoor reviews. I'm sad to say that all the recent reviews echoed my concerns and it sounds like the "employee first" veneer has been completely stripped away now that the founder (Nina Hale) is no longer closely involved with the company. It's sad as there are a number of talented people that work at Collective Measures who are being exploited. If you're considering working for this company, know that the executive team puts in a lot of effort to disguise how unkind they are. When they decide they don't like someone (often because they display a shred of self-worth and exhibit signs they won't be stepped on), they talk about them behind their back, then punish them by giving them awful work and withholding the few interesting projects they have. Their goal is to make you quit to avoid the built-in fallout that would come from firing you. They win by not paying unemployment and by framing your departure as being under good terms. It's perhaps the only intelligent thing they've done, though completely unethical.
