Sixt reviews

The company culture and career opportunity that Sixt USA sells during their interview process is a falsehood. The USA HQ in Fort Lauderdale is a negative, disorderly, and immature environment. Employees are openly negative about the company and their coworkers. Work conditions are strict. Salaried employees are required to clock in and out as they arrive to and from work including as they come and go for lunch. Hours are monitored strictly and employees are expected to consistently work 50+ hour work weeks. Their strange dress code for females includes no open toed shoes, no bright hair color, no distracting jewelry, no excessive makeup, and no bright nail polish. Sixt management forces new employees to work in their "Test Kitchen" and pull 10 hour work shifts once a week in an embarrassing uniform as Car Rental Salespeople in an ongoing "training" - they will not tell you this during the interview process nor do they allow you to opt out of participating. They essentially require you to work a second job to avoid properly staffing their Fort Lauderdale downtown car rental branch. Internal systems and processes are outdated and literally written in foreign language - most systems are written in German where the company is globally headquartered. People quit and are let go constantly, it is a revolving door.

Where do I even start with? This company is joke on the name of work culture, HR , ethics. Management is superbly talented with demeaning people, always demotivating them, encouraging them to lick. Working in six was the worst phase of my whole career. They have no culture, ethics whatsoever. Management is superdumb . All they do is take leaves, don't trust team members, be on their cell phones during meetings, all the time being clueless, and put hacks in development codes just to make things right momentarily. The development decisions are taken by product owners who speak filth, are overconfident, and truly believe that quality is just a waste of time and they themselves are capable of being developers, SDET, engineering managers. I have never seen such complete package sort of people in any organization.... Lucky SIXT . One classic thing they do is when anything goes wrong, just go mad and hold the team responsible for that. There is not even a single percent contribution from the managers here but trust me they are very good with taking leaves , not present for the team when required and always being "under the weather" and contributing zero towards anything good. All I can suggest is even if they give you millions to join, this organization is not worth your time and effort. If you want to see how useless HR can be in any organization, sixt is the setting very good example.  To summarise, super dumb management, useless HR, bunch of over smart people who think shouting at their colleagues is the right way to work, constitutes the paradigm of Sixt. Runaway and run far if you don't want to get scarred for life.
