      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cab facility. But it's of no use during or post pandemic.

      Cons

      Immature leadership team Hire and fire culture. Almost 25-30 people fired in last few months. Not a place one should consider for joining. Unnecessary work pressure on indian tech team. Primarily driven from Germany team.

      Thank you for taking the time and letting us know your experience working with us. We are surprised to hear a lot of claims here which are untrue. However, we would try our best to explain a few of the aspects that you have highlighted here. 1. Cab Facility was rolled out even before COVID hit India. This was done after taking collective feedback from SIXTIANS as part of EMPLOYEE CONNECT. 2. We have not fired anyone due to the pandemic. We did not extend a few contract workers' tenures depending on the businesses' needs and few of the FTE were asked to go on PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) basis his/her performance in 2019/20. However, few chose not to opt for PIP and decided to quit. We appreciated his/her decision and we ensured to compensate them well as per offer letter guidelines. 3. SIXT India is the only development center outside of Europe. The primary reason for SIXT INDIA's presence is to cater to our clients worldwide while our business owners are in Germany, the tech team is based in our Bangalore office and are expected to deliver as per the need. However, there is no undue pressure. We also go one step and compensate employees with a compensatory off if he/she works on a holiday. We thank you and we wish you all the best!

      Pros

      Sixt as a overall organisation is good and has a great culture. Erich Sixt is a Gentleman and a visionary. Sixt family is seen as one of the most respected families through out the world. Afterall, a German company and you can imagine the mindset of the management towards its employees. Office environment is good and helpful colleagues. The new facility is good with a lavish spend on interiors etc. Makes one feel fresh through out the day working with an abundance of light ventilation. Compensation is good, SLProgram is a good retention scheme for the employees and attract them to stay longer.

      Cons

      We have a India CEO, who gets to a level of few following: Correcting design level changes at a check-box positioning level, intimidate some of the most senior product folks in writing a simple use case scenario, influence SF developers in writing the code the way he feels (because he comes from a SF background). Not only micromanages but also asks other managers to do the same and people like us gets micromanaged from every aspect. Yeah, read it again, this is from a India CEO. Basically a Product Manager / Engineering Manager / Staff Engineer / Technical Architect / Program Manager / Test Manager - All in one Person who doesn’t trust his own team. Who probably don’t even know the M of what motivation means and believes this is not part of his JD. Shy away from recognising / acknowledging good work from the team. There is a severe iteration in the company already (not sure if this matters to the HR). If this thought process doesn’t change, then the organisation will loose even the small portion of talented folks remaining and end up paying a huge price for revival. Don't use your brain, just follow instructions, and hence no creativity expectations. Last set of folks who are remaining, are anyways looking to complete the minimum tenure required to get the loyalty. Overall a high-risk organisation for people who are joining just for 20% to 30% hike.
