"Excellent company to work for, great environment. Pay is below average though, even by Austin/San Antonio standards. Takes some time to get into the swing of things, but they have really good benefits and a superior work environment with a great culture. I would definitely recommend working at Rackspace as long as compensation isn't your number one priority."

"Rackspace is a great place to work, but pay is below normal."

Strategic Alliance Manager

"It's a wild ride..."

What do you like about working at Rackspace?

"Flexibility to balance work and personal life."

What don't you like about working at Rackspace?

"The lack of vision. Rackspace management views Change as a Core Value of the company, but it's really because they're being so reactionary most of the time, that policies never last or make sense for more than about 6 months. If there were more experienced management in place, some of the more ridiculous change could be avoided yielding happier employees. Pretty much, every team meeting results in some sort of new policy that is being tested."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Find a consultant that can help you hire experienced senior leadership and pay the salary they want. Their experience will be worth more than you can imagine and then the turn over in the executive ranks will be lower giving the company more credibility year over year."
