Software Engineer Interview Experience - Detroit, Michigan
Process
I interviewed through the college campus and went to the Detroit downtown office. I interviewed with a panel of two people: one from HR and one from IT. The interview went pretty straightforward. I also received an offer for an internship instead of the full-time job that I was looking for.
Questions
The entire question was focused on my personality to see if I fit into the QL environment. Questions included whether I like to work in a team or individually, and what are the most enjoyable aspects of working in a team, etc.

Rocket Mortgage Work Experiences
- 3.0FineSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeDetroit, MIApril 25, 2024Pros: Nice location and really great people to work with.Cons: All those layoffs really impacted morale.
- 1.0Run awaySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeDecember 23, 2025Pros: Mortgage discount for first-time homebuyers.Cons: They keep changing and cutting benefits, and when announced, phrase it as if it’s better. It’s not, it’s way below standard. - PTO: they recently cut 1 week from everyone, choosing an increase in 401K matching because they said this is what employees wanted. For those that have been here 5-10 years, you get 5 weeks PTO (sick and vacation combined!). Pray you or your family don’t get sick often or you can say goodbye to your vacation. They’re finding more and more ways to maximize your working time for their own profits. It’s clear they don’t value work/life balance. - Holidays: they JUST gave the day after Thanksgiving off to “compensate” for the PTO change. Additionally there is no President’s Day, no Christmas Eve (this alone should already tell you a lot), no NYE off. - Healthcare: when my company got acquired by Rocket, my healthcare cost doubled.
- 4.0Great placeSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeJuly 14, 2025Pros: Chill, easy, and not too much workCons: Work hard, play hard, and too much indecision.
