Pros

The time zone difference is minimal, as the majority of interactions occur with the team based in the headquarters in Germany. 2. Sprints are scheduled at the beginning of each quarter, allowing for predictive workload management. Ad hoc tasks may arise approximately once a month. Planned leave can be coordinated well in advance with the manager. 3. The organization features a flat hierarchy, providing opportunities to collaborate with senior Staff Engineers from the headquarters. 4. The work environment is hybrid, offering the flexibility of remote work, with complimentary lunch provided on days spent in the office.

Cons

1. Promotion cycle is only once a year. It would take roughly 2 years to get promoted once joined

Dear employee, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really glad to hear that you’re enjoying the team culture and that the structure of our sprints and hybrid setup are supporting both your productivity and work-life balance. Predictable planning and strong collaboration across locations are priorities for us, so it's great to see that reflected in your experience. We appreciate your point on the promotion cycle. While we aim to ensure that promotions are meaningful and tied to real growth, we understand that more frequent opportunities for advancement can be motivating. Feedback like yours helps us continue to evaluate how we support development and progression across our teams. Thanks again for your contribution and continued commitment to SIXT. Best regards

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.
