Rackspace Technology reviews

Gym is composed of solely of machines and dumbbells (no barbells for people who want to lift weights). The "cafe" mentioned is non-existent as far as I can tell. Free snacks is limited to apples and bananas. There is no official carpool program, although they list this as a perk (in fact, from what I observed there is no employee carpool, just friends who carpool). Rackspace University is geared towards IT and Management/Business, with other classes taking a backseat or not being held. On-site health services means free health screenings every so often. Career progression can be slow if you want to move up positions (e.g. support -> network).

Salaries are under the industry average for just about every position. The only reason we retain any talent is due to the poor economy and nice culture. Stock Options/raises/bonuses are a joke for support floor Rackers if they are available at all. The new middle management layer has done more damage than good. Many do not understand the responsibilities of the Rackers they manage and this causes confusion and poor performance reviews based on ignorance and reading statistic spreadsheets. Nobody on the support floor seems to be appreciated at all anymore due to the disconnect between mid management and Rackers...even though Upper Management says we are the secret sauce.
