Pros
The people are amazing. Family is important. Lanham Napier (CEO) is awesome - he sincerely believes that Rackers are the key to the company's success. Core Values matter at Rackspace. It makes it easy to weed out the Rackers who don't fit - and there are some.
Cons
Transparency is great from the leaders but middle management tend to muddy the message and create confustion. Lots of new VPs recently who are struggling to embrace the Core Values. Rackers tend to reject this type of leadership. Message to new VPs: Embrace it or go home. This industry is fast paced and constantly adjusting. If you can't keep up, you will get run over.
