Pros
Rackspace is not a "geekploitation" company--they are passionate about their employees (Rackers). Great, optimistic coworkers who honestly treat you like friends and family. If you are headed to the San Antonio or Austin office, living in central Texas can be cheap compared to living on the east or west coast. Rackspace is a super casual environment and feels much less corporate than you'd expect at its current size.
Cons
Work can be extremely demanding and timelines can be tight. It's better to be on the system administration side than in product development. The pay, while fair, is not nearly as competitive as it could be. Now that Rackspace is public, there will be more scrutiny and oversight.
