Pros

Great benefits- some of the best in the industry Great time off Front line leaders who really listen and care Flexibility depending on your role and department

Cons

A lot of silos- very segmented Communication from D+ has disappeared New CEO is just a suit- many people don’t even know who he is outside of the occasional, random and inconsistent open book It’s become a culture of fear due to no communication surrounding when layoffs do happen. They happen and are kept hush hush and tried to be swept under the rug. Internal pay when promoting is a joke. They offer so many people under the payband, because heaven forbid it’s a significant % increase. Why even have payband minimums if you’re going to offer significantly below them? Merit and promotion come out of the same tiny pot of money, so merit increases basically don’t happen bc everyone tries to promote instead.

Pros

The people were great to work with. Old school Rackspace was amazing.

Cons

Hire people who just use buzz words Redundant positions and don’t put effort in areas that need focus No accountability on all levels, especially from leaders Culture shift and used as a crutch or excuse Ever since 2014 Rackspace just isn’t the same. I know places have to evolve to survive but it turned into something I’d never support or want to be a part of.

Pros

Many awesome people striving to do the best they possibly can, some real diamonds in the rough, and lots of opportunity to be mentored if you are in the right place. Great health benefits.

Cons

Lack of leadership. Uncertainty is the name of the game at Rackspace where you just aren't sure what is going to happen next. Innovative internal services often go unnoticed to senior management and product is managed by leaders who do not understand the products and don't trust in their owners. Rackspace was once a great place to work. Today it's in tatters unable to find its true identity and has too many focuses.
