Clarity in Communication, both internally & externally
Review from Engineering Dept
They try to connect with us through watercooler meetings
Review from Engineering Dept
My managers have great people skill. They are genuinely invested in making me succeed professionally, without negatively affecting me personally.
Review from Engineering Dept
They're the same mega-corporate lizards-in-suits that you'll find at any HP or IBM or similar. I wouldn't trust them to walk my dog without trying to sell it off, or replace it with a cheaper, more efficient dog.
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
they need to value talent and experience

Better connected to those that report to them. More tangible action and actual change.

Embrace a supportive engineering culture for engineers. ELT thinks entirely in terms of sales culture.

What is the best part about your compensation package?
Lots of different benefits so I can pick and choose what works for me.

It hits all the sweet spots.

The entire CTC is fixed. There is no variable component.
Review from Engineering Dept
It's paid on time and is decent enough to live well in the UK. Better packages are available elsewhere in the market, but let's be honest, past a certain point it doesn't bring happiness.
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
better pay and a transparent promotion path

New hires are paid much more than people who have been around for a long time - to the point where more junior people earn more than senior folk.

better compensation, better 401k, monthly work from home stipend.

Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Better strategic planning. Need more discipline. Ability to execute suffers.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The ability to work from wherever I want as long as it has an Internet connection.

What did you like most about the interview process?
The hiring team & the HR were genuinely invested in making me succeed throughout the interview process. Hence there was a sense of belonging-ness.
Review from Engineering Dept
It was so long ago that it won't be relevant now! However we do have strong technical people involved in the interviews, and there's not too much nonsense in the process.
Review from Engineering Dept
That I was challenged by a team of my peers that hold different positions, with different backgrounds and with very different personalities. That gave me a very satisfying sense of accomplishment, when I found out I was given an offer here at Rackspace Technology.
Review from Engineering Dept
Quick and constructive feedback throughout the process
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
many times interviews are completed by a panel of interviewers who may have to sit through several interviews in a single day, having participated in hiring I know that sometimes half way through the day you are just ready for it to be over and the candidate does not get your best attention

What makes you most happy at work?
Having meaningful work that pushes the boundaries of my technical capabilities.

Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Feels like it's dying. Everyone is jumping ship because ELT doesn't know what they are doing.
Review from Engineering Dept
It's all about that revenue growth. It's where conversations start and end, no further strategy, culture, engagement that I can see at senior levels. Lost enormous levels of extremely talented people. Yes men everywhere I look at upper levels.
Review from Engineering Dept
We're run by HP/IBM C-level corporate overlords who are used to running companies with 100,000+ employees, and they're pulling the same crap with our company of 6,000.
