how it feels to work at polaris

[textlinkfalse]

Polaris Computing Ltd., more commonly known as simply Polaris, was founded by Stanford graduate students Claire Tashi and Joel Lovinger in 2002. The company rapidly rose to prominence after the release of their sophmore operating system Andromeda in 2006. Users praised the system for its balancing of desirable traits from competing companies, namely Apple and Microsoft. Blending the heavy lifting of Windows with the visual sensibilities of Apple and a level of customization offered by neither allowed the small tech startup to skyrocket into financial success and industry acclaim.

Andromeda was a major improvement over its debut OS Centauri (released in 2003), marking major shifts towards a focus on smooth and instinctive UX and UI. The desire for a smooth and highly personalized user experience was Claire's contribution, and something that truly set Polaris's products apart. Joel's contribution was in functionality and capability, pushing their OS products to the limits of technical capability.

Eventually the company began creating its own devices to pair with its software, a way to further engage devoted customers and bring in more sales. While their operating systems could be installed on any device, the launch of the Cygnus desktop computer in 2008 was a foray into a new era of the company. Joel carefully oversaw the technical details of its design, the hardware used, and together with Claire personally monitored the progress of software development for the launch of Lyra, the follow up OS to Andromeda that would debut pre-installed on all Cygnus computers. Shortly after that Polaris released their first laptop, the Gemini. It would also use the Lyra OS, and promised to replicate as much of the experience of a desktop as technologically possible. The design ethos of the company persisted, and accessorizing the Gemini became increasingly popular. The company began to sell official cases and protective equipment in a variety of colours, patterns, and materials, along with laptop bags, headphones, mice and other accessories.

What would truly cement Polaris as an untouchable tech giant was an early wave smartphone meant to compete with the Blackberry: the Lynx. Released in 2009, for a while the Lynx was the only smartphone to properly compete for the market owned by RIM and the Blackberry and Apple's iPhone. Multiple versions of the Lynx with slight modifications were released, along with models in all sorts of colours. The parade of phone cases and charms and holders would further contribute to the individualization continued.

As the market shifted heavily in favour of touchscreens, and iPhones became the dominant cellular device on the market, Polaris too shifted with the tides. In 2011, the company released their own version of a touchscreen phone, essentially a miniature tablet with added features that carried a more true-to-desktop version of Polaris's OS: the Acrux.

This pattern of call and response would continue over the next decade as the company began to balloon to titanic proportions. Its value would grow in a way that seemed exponential. With solid leadership and a better-than-average public reputation than most tech companies of the era possessed it seemed there was nowhere but up, up, and up for Polaris and its C-suite executives. Shortly before the 20 year anniversary of Centauri's release, and what was sure to be a monumental milestone for its leaders, Claire would slowly phase out of the company. With her shares sold and redistributed, and Joel able to secure over approximately 52% ownership of the company's shares, he remained on board as the sole CEO of the company and its single largest shareholder.

This shakeup was met with Joel's very own press tour; interviews in magazines, glowing reviews on tech news sites for new Polaris products, and more public appearances and charitable donations. Amid this flurry of good press was the nugget that would explode into a major story in the tech world: Claire was out at Polaris, and the Lovingers had separated. As far as the public knew it was amicable, quiet. Things have carried on, but whispers in the network have revealed cracks in the foundation. With Claire came a small exodus of loyal supporters, particularly those aware of the impending divorce. New hires worked to Joel's advantage, giving the impression of a growing and thriving company. Polaris still pulls in unconscionable amounts of revenue every year, lining Joel's pockets nicely. So far he has been unscatched, the victor, a man on top of the world.
