Pros

Some very nice and smart people. Good exposure to clients. Overall supportive environment. Good HR department. Good benefits.

Cons

HR "asked" current employees to post positive reviews on Glassdoor, so beware of the positive reviews. Some members of upper management are completely incompetent. Very short sighted; focused on profit rather than long term growth or quality. Expect to work long hours and then have your superior take all the credit for your work if it is good quality, or throw you under the bus if the slightest thing goes wrong. Bonuses are low. Retention is very low. Receive conflicting direction from upper management.

We did ask a few members of the team to consider posting about their experience working at Polaris. However, they were asked to give their honest feedback (positive or negative). We don't believe it's wrong to ask people to share their honest (and anonymous) feedback!!! :)

Pros

Very prosperous company and people are supportive and friendly. I like it very much

Cons

It's a private firm so procedures or work schedules may not be well found. Not necessarily has to be cons though.

Pros

1. You are the jack of all trades because you learn & do EVERYTHING! You do Management Consulting, Tech Consulting, Support, Product Management, Business Development, Sales, Account Management, Coordinator roles, Project Management! 2. You definitely go up the chain quicker as a new hire out of college. 3. You are thrown into the fire!

Cons

1. You are too busy to be a master of anything. Why? Because you have too much on your plate that you won't be able to focus on something you like. 2. As you go up the ladder, you still retain your old work. 3. People are overworked. Some project managers decide that its not worth it to invest in a QA resource or a support member on a project and instead let the analysts/consultants do the work (even when some are not even qualified). Why do they do this? Because these project managers don't want their margins to look bad. Unfortunately they are pressured to GET IT DONE (exact words of a partner) regardless of how much a project is sold. 4. There's no energy anymore. People don't go to happy hours anymore. I guess they're not happy?
