Business outlook
Pros
I worked for Rackspace over a decade and most of my time there was nothing short of amazing. I learned a lot and made many good friends. I was a Racker at heart.
Cons
However, once Apollo bought out Rackspace this was the beginning of the end. Rackspace is now just a shell of its former self. Apollo did not believe that Rackers were the secret sauce to Fanatical Support. Instead inexpensive labor and acquisitions was the new path to success. Ruthless layoffs have become the norm since 2017 and most of the replacements have been cheaper labor. The bottom financial line is what Apollo cares about most, not Rackers.
