Rackspace – “Great place to hire future employees from”

Pros

An excellent place to learn no matter what your line of work you will learn a lot here. The people you work with here are awesome. They know their stuff and information sharing is encouraged.This is a great place for people to come learn and leave ( read: smart people should do that ) . It used to be a great place to work at now it is just a job

Cons

Medical benefits suck
Pay really really sucks, some of the offers they make are ridiculous and i am not sure how the team that comes up with those numbers even comes up with them, it is like they are living in a dream world.
No personal life, forget this part of your life, you wont know it ever existed
All senior management worries about is shareholder value, not concerned with employees anymore.

Advice to Senior Management

wake up , fix this situation. If companies want to hire skilled labor they should hire from Rackspace it is very good breeding ground for overworked ,underpaid and talented employees.

Share holder value matters but please do not ignore the people that help you achieve this.
