Pros

Nothing really other than SOME presence in BMO owing to some historical relationships setup by Polaris & some accelerators for Fin Tech.

Cons

The Management Team in Canada mostly comprises of Polaris old timers, who trust me have no clue how to work Senior people coming from other Organizations. New joiners, especially on Management are made to feel unsolicited, unwelcome & even unwanted to a great extent. Their Delivery leaders in Canada are very insecure & trash new ideas, demean people just to prove their clout. The whole concept of a work - life balance is a joke here. The diversity in leadership is zero; all are men from Polaris. Work culture - pathetic!! And oh my the vacation - they give you 2 weeks if you’re a new joiner in Management. Ridiculous. Senior Leadership is well aware of these happenings but chose to ignore it & pretend like they are totally unaware. You’re better without a job, than working here.

Pros

Opportunity to work on large-scale enterprise projects. Exposure to modern technologies and diverse client environments.

Cons

Excessive micromanagement limits autonomy and creates a lack of trust. Workplace culture suffers from poor communication and limited collaboration. Employee feedback is often ignored, making it difficult to drive positive change. Career growth and recognition are inconsistent and heavily dependent on management. Work environment can be stressful, with employee well-being receiving little attention. Leadership within Connected Commerce is a major concern. The LOB lead's management style is often perceived as disrespectful, dismissive, and overly controlling. Employees may feel uncomfortable expressing opinions or raising concerns, leading to low morale and reduced engagement. Rather than fostering a culture of trust and empowerment, the leadership approach contributes to a negative and demotivating work environment.
