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.

Pros

Excellent work environment, helpful managers

Cons

It only takes one or two customer reviews to affect you negatively. Disproportionate to the number of customers you handle.

Pros

• Strong learning experience in business operations, especially P&L, pricing, and revenue growth • Opportunity to work with talented and driven colleagues • Clear performance structure with defined KPIs and bonus incentives • Fast-paced environment that builds resilience and management skills • Good exposure to leadership communication and corporate expectations

Cons

• High-pressure, top-down culture with constant focus on results • Middle management roles can feel unsupported despite high expectations • Disciplinary actions sometimes felt excessive for minor issues • Workplace culture included gossip and lack of professionalism at times • Limited coaching and development—more focus on outcomes than guidance • Bonus structure can be difficult to fully achieve due to split KPIs • Customer service metrics felt unrealistic to consistently control • Perception of over-policing performance (both under- and over-performance scrutinized) • Advancement expectations are aggressive; may not be ideal for those not seeking rapid promotion • Frontline employees appear prioritized over management support

Dear former employee, thank you for taking the time to share such a balanced and thoughtful review after your time with us in Los Angeles. We're glad to hear that you valued the learning opportunities, the talented colleagues, and the clear performance structure. At the same time, we take your concerns seriously – particularly around management support, coaching, and the fairness of our bonus and disciplinary structures. A high-performance environment should come with the right guidance and your feedback is valuable as we continue to develop a culture at Team Orange where both results and people matter. If you'd like to share more in confidence, feel free to reach out at talents@sixt.com. We wish you all the best in your next chapter. Best regards
