Svantaggi
under staffed under paid It is easy to move up within Rackspace, however, there is a negative side effect to moving up quickly as well. Say you come in as an entry level position, really put a strong effort in and do all that is asked. Following this model you will certainly move up through the ranks quickly while learning a ton of good skills. The side effect of this is that Rackspace limits the amount that your pay can grow yearly. The end result is your hardest working, most promising, young rackers doing the job of a high position, however, the pay is not even close to being within the pay bands that Rackspace uses to define what they feel is the fair market rate. If a rackers moves up quickly the pay increases will not match the role/responsibility increases.
