This short case is one of the eight in a series of cases written for the Next Great Companies in Michigan project, which profiles great places to work in Michigan.
Rock Financial (now part of Quicken Loans) was founded by Dan Gilbert, when he was only twenty-three-year-old. Although the firm has grown to over 4,000 employees and had become part of a world-class lending organization, it has still managed to maintain an entrepreneurial culture that encourages employees to be innovative in their work. It also boldly recognizes and celebrates employee achievements, and has been named one of the top twenty of Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” in America for four consecutive years. This case profiles Quicken Loans and its road to creating a thriving workplace in Michigan and across the U.S.
