Rackspace was the best company I ever worked for as a software engineer. Started off as a contractor -- even then they treated me with respect and I felt no different than an employee. But when I became an employee -- WOW! The best onboarding I've ever had. It was also the best team I ever worked with. Only team I ever worked with that actually felt like a team and not a bunch of frenemies trying to step on eachother's necks to climb up the ladder. I still think Rackspace is a Good company with Good people. It's a shame to see the mismanagement of the work of such a great group of people.
