This is the seventh consecutive year Quicken Loans has been listed in the magazine’s annual survey, ranking among the top-15 each year.
Computerworld’s “Best Places to Work in Technology” list is determined through a comprehensive questionnaire about company perks spanning categories such as benefits, diversity, career development, training and retention. This year, Computerworld surveyed thousands of technology professionals and their responses factored heavily in determining the overall rankings.
“Our technology team is the lifeblood of our organization – they are part of nearly every decision we make, and are invaluable in helping us deliver an amazing experience to our clients all across the country,” said Quicken Loans CEO Bill Emerson. “In an industry with ever-changing guidelines and regulations, our technology team continues to give us the competitive edge to provide our clients the fastest, easiest mortgage experience possible.”

The loan origination system created a major advantage for the company and is a major driver behind Quicken Loans consistently closing loans faster than its competitors.
“Our people are talented, diverse and really enjoy what they do, which is instrumental in our success as a team and as a company,” said Linglong He, Quicken Loans Chief Information Officer. “And as technology continues to play an even bigger role in our company, we have been able to expand our team without losing the sense of family.”
