Pros

RS is very good to their employees on the surface. There are many perks, everyone is stoked to go to work, and it seems as though you're going to have a ton of fun on the job. In many areas of the company this is completely true and RS provides. They provide a very fun, relaxed environment that allows you to thrive if you're a self starter.

Cons

Management is becoming less and less "Rackspace." Over the last couple years the management team has become full of managers operating under the theory X style of management. They have driven many, many long term Rackers out, including the CEO. If management doesn't look to those leaders who have been around since the early days (those that are left) they're going to drive them away. I went from a die hard Racker to someone who was completely heart broken when I saw this decline... It is as if they don't ever know what the CORE values are.

Pros

Vacation plan is pretty good.

Cons

As indicated by our stock price, the company is fading. It's abundantly clear that our upper management has no idea what's going on and they continue leading the charge with big words and no action. Outsourcing is at an amazing record high to the point our CEO was just outsourced to India. Turns out India is too expensive, we're now entertaining places like Egypt. I can't understand them and they can't understand me, but at least someone answers the phone, I guess. Rackspace has an official Glass Door astroturf team. They're easy to spot. Just look for the non-human, canned wording. They'll say something about 'Elastic Engineering.' Nobody knows what that means, by the way. The reward for doing a lot of work is more work. This has resulted in most people mentally checking out. There's no punishment for doing poorly; no reward for doing well.

Cannot think of many post IPO.. Base salary was competitve

Cons

Unreasonable work hours Increased demand on teams while all but completely halting hiring and opening job recs Cost cutting to increase margins has squeezed employees across the board - unexpected changes in scope of work, hours, and - most alarmingly - pay structure
