It's not enough to employ anyone in Detroit who might want a tech job but it is a decent sized tech company based in the city. Quicken Loans is also bringing a bunch of people down and buying up a lot of the empty office buildings. Down town appears to have turned around somewhat but since I'm one of the people who lives in the suburbs I can’t speak to weather there’s any kind of meaningful trickledown effect to help the rest of the city.

- brewdad 13y agoCompuware has been struggling since Y2K ended. In some ways it has mirrored Detroit's decline.
- c0nsumer 13y agoTheir location downtown is the exact reason why I haven't yet applied with them. I live in the suburbs where downtown Detroit is a 1hr drive (on a normal day) each way. Something in the north/east suburbs is a much more reasonable 30 minutes. I'm not willing to move into or closer to the city just for the couple more jobs there, as living in the city proper is not so great, and just another place in the suburbs would be a lateral move. I strongly suspect that many who live in the Detroit suburbs feel the same way.
