Pros

Fitness options, coffee, soda, good medical benefits, customer interaction is enjoyable, company shuttle to corporate? Really? Is this 20 words yet because I am running out of ideas that go beyond an occasional breakfast taco.

Cons

Too much management, not enough qualified managers. Job expectations are beyond the compensation. No pay raises in over 2 years, this is becoming a trend which is causing a lot of tenure rackers to leave for more pay elsewhere. Instead of compensating employees with money well earned they try and band-aid it over with booze, which I can understand the logic... "Keep em' drunk y'all, they won't realize they are getting SCREWED!" Unfortunately they forgot that not everyone in the company is a drinker so there are many of use that see exactly what is going on. This place is like working in the "Lambda Lambda Lambda fraternity" in case you are not aware of what I am referring to I suggest you watch REVENGE OF THE NERDS! Rackspace = A bunch of drunk nerd losers that are with a group of their own kind and now they think they are cool! I do not recommend working here! Try Metacloud or SoftLayer instead, at least you will get paid for your work at those companies!

Pros

So many great things between the years of 2007 and 2013 but then it went down hill to inside politics and too many selfish leadership immaturities

Cons

Very much a “who you know” club as opposed to earning promotions and recognition based on merit. This was not the case in the early years at all.

Pros

Rackspace has plenty of opportunity for anyone looking to work hard on a variety of technologies.

Cons

Over the years, new people from outside the company have come in and changed the culture. Rackspace culture has declined and there are a lot of politics instead of people trying to help each other.
