Pros: - Great benefits - Team-centered - Interesting technology - Honest banking that genuinely wants to help first-time buyers. Follows the spirit of fair lending policies, not just the letter of the law. You can feel good about what you produce.

Cons: - Strong culture that was carefully shepherded while Quicken Loans was private has melted significantly since going public as Rocket Mortgage. Original leaders are all gone now. - Hostage to the mortgage market, which is currently in a serious slump.

Pros: Everything from culture to technology to people care.

Cons: Some streams are more unrealistic about project timelines than others.

Pros: So far my experience at Rocket has been a very positive one. The people I have worked with have been great, there are a variety of interesting business domains to work in, and there is opportunity to learn about and work with AI which is a critical area to be gaining experience in to stay current as an engineer. The salary and benefits are fairly competitive, the work hours are reasonable (40-50/wk), and there is definitely opportunity for career growth if you have the skills, experience, work ethic, and ambition.

Cons: The technology organization is reorganized on a fairly regular basis, which isn’t inherently negative, but it does mean you have to be comfortable with change—new leaders, new teammates, a new business domain, and more. Personally, I like the occasional change of scenery. It’s an enterprise software engineering role, so there’s going to be more processes and red tape than you might find at a smaller company or startup, but much less than I’ve seen at other enterprise companies.
