Pros

The culture is by far the best part of Rackspace. There are a ton of opportunities for personal and professional development and training. Everyone has a wonderful attitude and enjoys coming to work. The pay is great and the benefits are unbeatable.

Cons

Pay can be higher elsewhere, but the benefits and environment make up for it. Sometimes getting into training classes can be difficult due to the popularity of a particular class, but they are always adding more slots.

Business Outlook

Pros

The best managed hosting company, good training, Management is very effective in building morale and rallying the troops. Free drinks, free certifications, and it's a public company so you may get a stock option package. Low chance of ever being fired

Cons

The pay and promotion paths are horrible, unless you live in san antonio. A lot of employees don't care at all and it's very rare that an employee is terminated at Rackspace
