Pros

I've had lots of fun at Rackspace. If you get into a good group you can learn a lot.

Cons

Pay is mediocre. Corporate politics can get in the way.

Pros

Rackspace has good people working there, but they are all trapped because it is the only "gig" of its kind, in San Antonio. Management take advantage of that, by overworking people, underpaying them, and treating people (AKA Rackers) poorly. Rackspace has/had a great opportunity ahead of it. I am not sure the senior leaders in place are smart enough to convert on it.

Cons

Rackspace's culture has steadily deteriorated, due to the immature senior management structure driven from the top. The CEO, Lanham, and his direct reports are not fit to lead a company of this size, and this market opportunity. They constantly change directions, unexpectedly, sending the company and groups into mad scrambles. They can get away with it, because the job market is cold right now, and they have a captive audience in San Antonio. Despite what is advertised, there is an absence of innovation due to the strong penchant for conformity.

Pros

I've met and worked with a ton of fantastic people here over the years. Truly some of the finest folks I've ever met are Rackers. If you're a people person and like to work with your friends, this is a great place. Bear in mind though, that not every team is like this. Teams definitely have their own personality.

Cons

The change from private company to public company has been... well, it's not easy, but that's why people give you money to do it. We've grown past the point in terms of how many Rackers there are to do a lot of the things we used to be able to do. There's a lot of "ahhh times were better when..." from the longer tenured Rackers, and some of it is true - but some of it is just a romantic vision we have of the old small RS.
