Rackspace Technology reviews

Their pay is fairly low and they are cutting benefits. They are "corporatizing" as you might expect of a company this size. You definitely feel trapped, *ESPECIALLY* if you are on second or third shift. Do you wanna get off 3rd? Say goodbye to 15% of your salary and some of the benefits of third (namely 4/10s). Do you want to get a promotion or out of your department? Good luck, they'll hold you hostage in your department as long as possible, and try to keep you from getting jobs elsewhere in the company.

The thing I most dislike about Rackspace is the management structure. I've personally seen over 20 people promoted to management that should never in anyone's wildest dreams be managing anything, much less people. You can get promoted here based on who you know more than what you can do or what your experience is. That drives me crazy. Also, too many people are still hanging on to the 'startup' mentality, even though there are now over 6000 employees here working in mutliple countries. The days of just winging it should be long over. Unfortunately, too many people, a lot of them the exact managers I'm complaining about, just do things based on whatever sounds good to them. If you're looking for things like agile, look elsewhere. Project management here is a joke.
