Rackspace Employer Reviews

Rackspace is a great place to work. Theres is plenty of employee interaction, fun things going on, and overall feeling that your company cares about you. It does have its downfalls though. Terrible managers, lack of consistency, and hardly any pay.

B2B sales via telephone. I sold IT hosting solutions to customers worldwide. Though I helped to build a new division from $0 to $40 million ARR in two years, I was probably the least technical person there. Fun environment and many celebrations. My manager lacked people skills and had anger issues. Several outburst were reported to HR by many employees.

A typical day would be calling on clients for many different need and working with my team and theirs to determine the best solution for their needs. I learned a great deal about the hosting and technology space.

The hardest part of the job was filling the large monthly quotas for 40 plus clients. Management was very good, however as the industry shifts – more... to the cloud management does not have compensation figured out and comp plans are often changes monthly. – less

Work hard, play hard
Get to wear whatever I feel comfortable in
High Expectations

Rackspace is an awesome place to work! Emphasis is placed on working towards your strengths. And we have an indoor slide! I work with a great team who answers to any challenge. There isn't a typical work day as it almost different every day. You are given every opportunity to succeed. Did I mention we have a slide?

Productive and fun workplace with game rooms everywhere

Rackspace is always throwing parties...

I love everything about Rackspace.
I got paid to have fun, work hard, and hang out with awesome people.

There is plenty of opportunity to work hard, and play hard. Most of the employees are geeky techs, so there are a lot in common with everyone. Plenty of opportunity to advance, however, a lot of advancement is due to who you know, or a way to get a raise - not necessarily because an advancement is the right position for someone. ie. some are promoted – more... to managers that are great techs, but do not have the skills or aptitude to be managers. – less

I love working at Rackspace. It is the best tech job I have ever had, and I want to keep it. My objective is to find part time work in my off time.

It's not good and it's not bad. It is what it is............................

Typical work day is not rushed, but productive. Lots of fun activities. Good work-life balance.

I loved my experience at Rackspace. I had the opportunity to work with and for some incredibly intelligent and motivational people. If it weren't for my lack of interest in IT, I would have definitely continued to pursue my career there. Its a wonderful place to work.

My time at Rackspace was long ago, however the culture still remains the same from those in the industry I still keep in contact with. Ever evolving, and always moving in an upward direction, it's no wonder they're as big as they are to this day.

This project is to design and develop an email survey model, which is used to by Rackspace net promoter team for their ongoing processes to handle Inventory system. The tool is used to pull together the necessary reporting files and also to manage the CTB (Call the Ball) process along with other daily activities.
