Pros

Quite possibly the best place you'd ever want to work! That of course depends on the department you work in, for as great as I have had it with my team, I have heard some less than great things from members of other teams. The culture is unmatched. You can't beat the Rackspace culture, and for the most part they live up to their core values. The Rackers are really what makes Rackspace a great place to work, and the CEO allows for that organic process to take place. On-site dodgeball tournaments, water slides, company parties, you name it.

Cons

There has been a lot of senior level management hired from outside of the company (Yahoo). These execs do not live by the Rackspace core values of treating everyone likes Friends & Family and providing Full Transparency & Disclosure. Recently a very good friend and probably one of the best Rackers to ever grace the premises was terminated for a first and very minor infraction - a decision made by this leadership team who does not know what it means to be a Racker. If you work for Rackspace, you will love it. But take things with a grain of salt and don't ever take anything for granted.

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.
