      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rocket (Detroit, MI) in Jul 2013

      Interview

      Recently applied for an IT position that they had posted on their website. I received a call back from a junior recruiter about an hour later. The recruiter setup an interview with her a few days later. Interview was pretty basic with one behavioral question. Recruiter then scheduled another "longer" interview with another "Sr." recruiter to take place in a few days. This second recruiter asked a few more behavioral questions and about my experience. She went on to talk about how great the culture was...tread mills, free lunch, snacks, ping pong, scooters, the downtown culture, etc.... She mentioned a salary range, and general work schedule guidelines. Insinuated that long hours where expected (play hard, work hard mantra...blah...blah). Also mentioned that it could be possible that an employee would have to park in a lot up to 2 miles away but that they would provide a shuttle. Also mentioned that work hours don't start until after the 20-30 minute parking adventure/shuttle wait/ride...nice. Second recruiter then scheduled a 1 hour "conference call" with "the team" in a few days. "The team" call consisted of 2 people, one of which didn't speak a word except for "Hello" in the beginning. The "team leader" stated right off that he was short for time and got right to it.(???) Must have had a wicked game of ping pong to play. The team leader essentially had a condescending tone while asking questions. I asked about work life balance, teleworking, virtual, flex hours, etc... and he said that wasn't possible in the first year. Nice use of the "technology"! I asked a few questions at the end but I could already sense that they are looking for young people who have no commitments to family or out of work life. They offer all the above "perks" to KEEP YOU THERE so you work long hours. Additionally, other reviews as well as a short IT stint by a colleague confirmed the above. I'm sure this is a great first job for someone that has no life outside of work or even a temporary job but I would run fast if you any real professional aspirations AND a personal life.
