Minpunten
Three years ago I would not have dreamed of working any place else. Rackspace was the best of the best. Unfortunately the quality of people they have hired recently has degraded significantly. This is partly due to the Sr. Rackspace employees venturing off into other areas or other companies and partly due to the recent IPO which shook things up from a management perspective. Rackspace has to answer to the public now and has to show profitable earnings on a regular basis if it wants to succeed as a company. Rackspace is still trying to learn the balancing act of keeping investors happy and keeping employees and customers happy. This is a very hard thing to do for many companies which is why when things become too corporate, the start-up (creative) types walk out the door. It's just part of the life cycle of a company I suppose.
