Pros

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.

Pros

Strong technical stack and real ownership of enterprise reporting. Complex servicing and NPL data gives senior analysts room to build governance, dimensional models, and end-to-end pipelines with genuine business impact. Skilled peers and access to large regulated datasets (FNMA, FHLMC, HUD) that sharpen your craft.

Cons

Heavy reliance on undocumented legacy systems that fall on individual contributors to reverse engineer. Knowledge concentration creates single points of failure and inconsistent handoff when people leave. Org changes and shifting priorities can outpace documentation and process maturity.
