Great people, but the politics are getting to be a bit much

Linux systems administrator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Fantastic people (team members) - Great internal collaboration (e.g., between team members/segment) - Flexible scheduling and ability to work from home if needed

Cons

- Company seems to have lost vision (e.g, becoming a reseller for other hosting providers) - Mountains and mountains of technical debt--It's grown so quickly, that it favored growth over setting up a solid foundation - Management seems to be in it for themselves, and team members often suffer due to the upper level politics - As the company's grown, entrenched silos seem to be emerging

Pros

Great people come join Rackspace and make a bad to pretty mediocre customer experience really good 1 out of 5 times.

Cons

Shockingly inept middle to upper management. US Ceo is awesome, but I'd fire 80% of the UK management if this were my company
