Racker Culture
Rackspace Product Manager Grant Herbon has used his sabbatical to embarked on a cross-country trek to hit a number of Major League Baseball games while raising money for Windcrest Little League (donate here: http://windcrestbaseball.org/donations/) – he’s calling it Le Tour de Baseball 2012. In this post, Herbon talks about what he’s doing, and why. You can follow Herbon’s journey and read about each of his stops along the tour here: http://www.bgh2.com/

Texans have a lot of home-state pride. And so does Rackspace. When we started putting together the building blocks of Rackspace, Texas wasn’t seen as a technology hub. Launching a hosting company in San Antonio was met with a lot of raised eyebrows.

Fanatical Support. It’s what we hang our hats on. You don’t become one of the world’s great service companies – which is our mission – without delighting customers.

We talk a lot about our amazing culture and how great it is to work at Rackspace. We’re a little biased, of course, because we live it every day; so it’s an awesome honor when an independent party gives Rackspace a nod and says it’s one of the best places in the country to work in IT.

MidwestUX 2012 is fast approaching (May 31 to June 2 in Columbus, Ohio). And while I’ll be there to speak about negotiation, that’s not the only reason I’m heading to the Midwest.

Roughly 90 percent of Rackspace’s San Francisco-based employees commute to the office using alternative methods of transportation. Of those, about 30 percent bike to work on a daily basis – another 60 percent or so walk or take public transportation – so it was a no-brainer that Rackspace’s San Francisco office would join the city on Thursday, May 10 to celebrate Bike To Work Day.
