Great environment but lack of solid management
Customer Service Specialist (Former Employee), San Antonio, TX – April 24, 2013
Pros: good culture, fun environment
Cons: lack of good managers, pay, inconsistent policy
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.

Great company, fun environment
Enterprise Sales Executive (Former Employee), San Antonio, Tx – January 10, 2013
Pros: good compensation package and frequent celebrations
Cons: management issues
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.

interesting work environment
Enterprise Sales, Business Development Consultant (Current Employee), San Antonio, TX – January 9, 2013
Pros: casual work environment very independent
Cons: compensation
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

Systems Engineer (Current Employee), San Antonio, TX – November 26, 2012
Pros: as long as clothing is appropriate, anything goes. i can wear shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops to work!!
Cons: things are very fluid and dynamic. change is constant making establishing a routine difficult.
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?

Fun workplace
Windows Systems Engineer IV (Former Employee), San Antonio, TX – September 3, 2012
Pros: great envrionment to lean technically
Cons: some departments are run like completely different companies, thus differing amounts of bureaucracy..
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

New Business Development Specialist (Former Employee), San Antonio, TX – April 4, 2012
Pros: great benefits, great culture, great people!
Cons: could be paid better, long promotional processes
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.

San Antonio, TX (Former Employee), DataCenter Operations Technician – November 6, 2011
Pros: employee meals, great benefits
Cons: i had to traverse downtown
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.
