The compensation and benefits were fair.

I joined at a turbulent time. There was an incredible amount of account change and employee turnover. They lacked clear vision for what type of company they wanted to be.

Pros

I was originally part of the Onica team that Rackspace acquired in 2019. Acquisitions can go poorly in the business, but this one was actually pretty great. We did lose a little of the flexibility that we had as a smaller company, but Rackspace did a pretty good job of not messing with what had made Onica a success. in fact, they adopted some of the things that Onica did and made it a permanent part of the company offerings for customers. Notable pros: - I got to work with a wide variety of engineers that had a sorts of backgrounds. I learned a ton from many of them. - My direct manager was fantastic. I could not have asked for anyone better to work with. - I worked with a vide variety of AWS services and tooling that is wildly in demand right now

Cons

- Pay was a little on the lower end of the spectrum for cloud engineers these days. - 401K matching was low compared to what a lot of other companies give - It was difficult to gauge when you could move up to the next level in your org
