Will a SRAM rear mech and shifter work with a Shimano 11 speed cassette?

Should do, it works fine the other way around.

I've always wondered if SRAM/Shimano collaborate to some extent.....

Yeah, all combinations of SRAM and Shimano components work together for 11sp. I currently run a Shimano shifter with SRAM mech, for example. This is only the case for 11sp. I doubt this was a deliberate move from the companies; historically there hasn't been much love lost between them... It'll be interesting to see if the new Shimano 12 speed stuff works with Eagle.

"I currently run a Shimano shifter with SRAM mech"

Really? I run a Shimano mech on a SRAM cassette, as the sprocket spacing is very similar. But a Shimano shifter with a SRAM mech? Surely the pull ratios are different?

Yeah, like I said, it only works with 11 speed stuff but it's all interchangeable.
