Pros

I liked the free cereal and Lipton tea. I also enjoyed calling "The Guy" when the computer was broken. Things were then fixed very quickly. When you work near skyscrapers, your ego becomes almost as big as a skyscraper.

Cons

I was an Aerotek employee at Quicken Loans. We received dozens of e-mails per day. Only a few pertained to us. However, if once in a blue moon we missed an e-mail, we received a nasty letter from the supervisor demanding why we did not respond. Almost every single day, we were threatened by our supervisor. If you made a tiny mistake like clock in one minute early, clock in one minute late, or save something in the computer in the wrong place by accident, it was "Verbal. Written. Out the door." In the elevators, we only let off steam with people that we _really_ trusted. There was an atmosphere that someone might turn us in for being "negative." Then we might get fired. Another issue was phone messages. If we were going to take a day off or go on vacation on a day that everyone goes on vacation, we had to change our phone messages to reflect the one missing day. If you receive calls from the public, I can understand it. Otherwise, I think it is a waste of time. Of course, if we did not do it, we were threatened with "Verbal. Written. Out the door." What really stinks is that supervisors are not allowed to give references. When I was laid off in August 2013, I applied for a position in Quicken Loans as a real Quicken Loans employee, not an Aerotek contract house worker. Only one of four supervisors were willing to be a reference. The rest were too afraid to help me. That is some thanks for busting my rear for eight months and almost destroying my shoulder blades by typing almost non-stop for eight, nine, ten hours per day. I left another job to come to Aerotek to work for Quicken Loans. Eight months later in late August, I was laid off with many other Aerotek employees. It happened the Friday before Labor Day. I guess Dan Gilbert did not want to pay us for Labor Day? It was a real slap in the face. Because many of us had to park at the Lothrup Parking garage miles away, the commute was a real pain in the neck. Campus Martius is twelve miles away from my house. My commute (plus waiting for a shuttle between Campus Martius and Lothruop) probably took one hour each way. That averages to five minutes per mile.

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.
