Kontras
Rackspace used to be an exciting company to work for but since the it got acquired and went private it has gone down hill. Human Resources has Managers create fake positive company reviews on Glassdoor and those Managers will ask their teams to do the same thing so they can sugar coat the work environment. You will see many 5 star reviews after each layoff. Speaking of layoffs, they happen every year which pushes out senior employees so they can bring in new talent at a lower pay. The company operates in silos. Each team follows their own process which creates inconsistent ways of working. Career advancement is not judged by performance it's more about how well you get along with your Manager. And if you have issues with your Manager and tell HR about it, it will come back and haunt you.
