Pros

The corporate Culture is fantastic. Everyone wants to work together and make this place a better company and enjoyable place to work. The idea of fanatical support really does motivate one to try to do their best while on the job. Management from the top down understands that employees are the most valuable asset of the company and really does try to work with you to advance your development and career.

Cons

The current transition from public to private is always hard. Employees who have been with the company the longest are struggling the most with this change.

Pros

It is like working with a large, yet tight-knit family on very technical subject matter.

Cons

It is like working with a large, yet tight-knit family on very technical subject matter, with other people who are not in your family, who don't know much about technical things, but you must act as if they are family and they do know what they are talking about. Also, the described subject matter, in reality, is not to true focus of the company. The company is about people - as much as that sounds like a cheesy platitude, it is fundemental to understand as it is a core cultural relevance point within Rackspace.
