Svantaggi
Would not recommend any prospective applicant apply at Collective Alternative. While I learned quite a lot during my time at CA the negative environment, lack of leadership and constant up and downs absolutely outweighed any positives (by a lot). The opportunities for growth are limited (though they will likely reply that they aren’t), there is an extremely high turnover rate and all employees are overloaded with projects/expected to be “on” 24/7. Now, normally with reviews you can ignore one bad review amongst a group of positive reviews. Typically I’d agree 100%. But you should know the majority of the reviews left were [basically] a requirement for employees to fill out. As for the leadership, I’ll be fully transparent - Amanda Parker is not a business owner I admire. The entire mood of the office shifts when she walks in the door and everyone walks on eggshells until they can collectively establish the mood she is in. She sends emails late at night and during the weekend, in my opinion, to put fear into employees and she is not someone I would consider a true leader. Overall, I would not recommend CA to anyone. It is not worth the stress endured.
