Ventajas
I've met and worked with a ton of fantastic people here over the years. Truly some of the finest folks I've ever met are Rackers. If you're a people person and like to work with your friends, this is a great place. Bear in mind though, that not every team is like this. Teams definitely have their own personality.
Desventajas
The change from private company to public company has been... well, it's not easy, but that's why people give you money to do it. We've grown past the point in terms of how many Rackers there are to do a lot of the things we used to be able to do. There's a lot of "ahhh times were better when..." from the longer tenured Rackers, and some of it is true - but some of it is just a romantic vision we have of the old small RS.
