Rocket Financial Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was really tough. I've never left a bad review before, but this is it. I used to like Quicken and tried to sort this out with them first. But when someone from the community team said they'd look into my situation without even knowing what it was, I decided to go public. Basically, they said they'd review things and then didn't. I should have known something was up when the original recruiter stopped replying to my emails. Then I got an email or call (can't recall) saying someone else was the recruiter, days after I'd emailed the first one. I originally wanted to be a recruiter there, but the first recruiter pushed me towards the banker role instead of respecting my initial interest. I went with it because it felt like they were really pushing the banker job and I thought it was my only way in. (Even when I mentioned wanting to move to a different role in 5 years, I got a weird answer). During the process, someone gave me wrong information. I spent 6 months on this and turned down other offers because I was told false things. I even had to point out to the person I was transferred to that they also gave me incorrect info. This person had info that wasn't right, so I ended up making the calls myself. An employer/partner even called me saying they were asking questions that crossed professional boundaries, and they had to draw a line. When I brought this up, the team lead said, 'We can ask anything, it's up to the companies to not answer.' The person handling the employers made assumptions because they wanted to rush the process and put words in the mouths of people I had strong business relationships with. It was awkward having to smooth things over because a potential employer almost ruined a relationship due to misrepresentations. On top of that, I found out they had more inaccurate information about me. They rescinded my offer based on more false info and holding things against me. They also didn't keep their promises. I emailed everyone, and no one replied. Instead, a team leader called and just insisted they were right, ignoring that I couldn't talk. They kept changing their story when I provided correct info and still spun it negatively. I told the team leader I didn't want to talk, that was the first thing I said. Instead of asking if a better time would be after my wife got home from work at 6:15 pm, she decided to 'help me out' and just kept talking. She didn't care that I didn't want to talk; proving they were right seemed more important. I explained that the decision wasn't as important as them having the correct information. They kept saying the decision wouldn't change, even after I said I wasn't trying to get them to change it. She even said I could reapply but doubted I'd want to, hinting they didn't want me. So, besides breaking promises and lying, they were disrespectful to me, my family time, and my wife. What a way to come home and have to deal with kids immediately instead of having a moment to breathe. They really contradicted their culture and words. The team lead who interviewed me also asked indirect questions about my age, like, 'Do you have a problem if someone younger than you is your leader?' I'm sure Quicken's owner wouldn't appreciate how that team acted or that emails and calls weren't answered within 24 hours, which is company policy. That's not the Quicken culture. Your ISM's say inches matter; you obviously forgot that along with everything else.

Applied, then one month later a recruiter reached out. I had to do a virtual test of the day to day job duties that basically simulated what the job would be like and I’m assuming tested for being able to multitask efficiently. A day or so after the test, my recruiter reached out and let me know that I passed with flying colors then scheduled an informations interview the following week. After learning more about the job and confirming this was something I wanted, he scheduled another interview the following week after that. This was honestly just a rundown of start date, class, and the SAFE/UST exam as well as pay rate. I don’t remember actually having an actual interview - I just remember passing the exam and getting hired lol.

The interview process was really straightforward. I started with a phone screen, then had an interview with some of the senior leaders on the team, and finally an interview with the hiring manager and the rest of the team.
