Pros

Sixt R&D center started its operations in Bangalore a couple of years back. The bulk of its people come from top product companies, successful startups, and unicorns. It's an absolute pleasure to work with such smart and intelligent people in building the next mobility platform that envisions taking a person from point A to point B through Rent Share and Ride modes. In such a short span, Sixt Bangalore has contributed several greenfield and brownfield products to the mobility platform. Sixt has a global footprint in 125+ countries so learning opportunities are immense with interesting problems to solve around mobility. Tech stack is pretty awesome with the use of latest technologies. Office and facilities are great and it's a joy to come to work here. Compensation is very competitive and it is bundled with the Sixt Loyalty program which is an added bonus. Culture is fairly relaxed and fun and best of all you get the freedom to pursue excellence and be creative. Great work-life balance.

Cons

An evolving and rapidly expanding company that still has to perfect its processes. Sixt India has nearly tripled in size over the last year has moved to 3 different office spaces. Learning and development programs are still in early stages should speed it up at the earliest. Providing office commute will be a big plus.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are thrilled to hear you have been enjoying your work environment as well as the perk of being able to drive cool new cars around. We understand that some days may be busier than others, but we seek to employee enough people at one branch in order to circumvent the challenges of having an overwhelming work day. We will also take the rest of your notes to improve our branches. We wish you continued success here at SIXT!

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.
