Pros

The community and environment rackspace has is amazing. No matter what kind of person you are, everyone makes an effort at making you feel welcome and they are all very polite. I've never had a 'bad' manager, or manager I did not like.

Cons

My only thought is the starting base pay, though once you get moving along, I believe it gets better. Other than that, yearly raises (even if it's only a small percentage) instead of only performance based, would be helpful to keep up with inflation.

Great place to coast

Pros

- Pay and benefits were decent - People were amazing (although seems they are currently having trouble with retention) - Large organization with a lot of opportunity for vertical or horizontal movement

Cons

- Retention - it seem like a lot of the extremely talented people have left - Projects - the current scope of the projects was on a deline. It was the same old projects time after time without a lot of room for growth or trying something new - Leadership - leadership was extremely disconnected from the employees. They would implement initiatives that had a huge effect on their employees with little knowledge of how it actually effected the day to day

Directionless shell of formerly great company

Pros

It was an excellent place to learn and grow a few years ago. The folks below VP/C-levels are smart and know what they are doing, but don’t have any power.

Cons

Leadership goals are short-sighted and selfish. The overall company strategy is aimless. Collaborative atmosphere disappearing as teams are more and more siloed. Attrition is really poor; most tenured Rackers who made the company what it was have left, and folks keep leaving in waves. Transparency is completely gone; leadership crafts narratives as they see fit, but don’t seem to realize investors and any employees who have been there longer than a year are not fooled. Employees are stretched thin and underpaid, with decreasing job security as more roles are offshores. Company is trying to solve for poor business strategy and subpar profitability with low wages.
