Pros

The people The breakfasts The attitude of everyone The feeling of being valued The charitable work the business encourages The games room

Cons

The expectation that if you DONT work extra hours you are looked down upon. Work Life balance is nigh on impossible. No-one is safe from performance management, but then work hard and you are rewarded for it, so it's all good.

Pros

Laid back environment. The technical people here are some of the smartest and most competent people I know and generally friendly. I do believe in the CEO and his vision for the future of Rackspace. This company has almost had no layoffs during these bad economic times. Good Benefits. Ability to learn a lot from your peers.

Cons

After hour shifts do offer a 10% to 15% differential, but you will not be able to be a part of many of the cultural aspects of Rackspace. Intensive after hours is overworked and understaffed due to a narrow profit margin and middle management who doesn't see System Administrators as anything valuable (due to ignorance and being obsessed with metrics). You will be slammed into a high volume ticket queue with management promising that it will get better, but it never does. The pay increase between levels is a joke. The only serious pay increase is when you are willing to take on a position that puts you on call 24/7. All pay levels are still under market rate.

Pros

lively and fun place to be. dress down culture, use of XBox, PS2, Table Tennis table etc. pay is nice when you get your targets done.

Cons

senior management has some funny ideas of how to get out of a crisis. communication levels are very low, so clients end up mystery shopping you and then you end up back tracking as there is no uniform way to sell a product/ service in a sensible pricing structure.
