Dan Gilbert of Quicken Loans is trying to make Detroit into the new SV. I'm a comp sci student in one of the upper middle class suburbs of Detroit and I'm tempted to get a job with them and move to the city. The downtown area is very nice already and Quicken Loans will pay you something like 20k if you buy a house in the city limits and a much smaller stipend monthly if you rent an apartment as opposed to commuting.
- gxs 12y agoHm, I will have to break one of my rules regarding leaving personal matters outside of HN, but I absolutely loathe Quicken Loans. I recently wanted to refinance one of my properties. I work in tech but have a degree in applied mathematics, with an emphasis on financial engineering. During the call the quicken loans agent said everything he could to make the sell. Once I got the paperwork in the mail and went over it closely I was furious. Every single thing he said was a lie and every number was way off. He kept trying to spin it as my misunderstanding and later as his missing a small detail. Needless to say I went with a different lender and am happy with my loan. Overall, however, I would say avoid Quicken Loans at all costs.
- Igglyboo 12y agoOh I have no idea on how they are as a loan provider, but I have heard very good things from many people in the area about how they are as an employer. I'm sure it's possible to be a great employer and terrible loan provider at the same time.
