Pros

Good onboarding Steep learning curve Much responsibility Smart people A good career step to take in the beginning of your work life They trust that you can do the job Nice, fun and competent colleagues Strong company culture Good pay (if you achieve your bonus target...)

Cons

Poor work-life balance Top management is practicing management by fear Not much attention to employee satisfaction - why not make exit interview Employee turnover is high Very performance oriented High work load Sometimes there seems to be changes for the changes, but no integration of strategy

We appreciate your feedback. Sixt provides training courses to our employees to ensure they are ready to tackle any job at hand. Our recruiters work hard to explain our job responsibilities well and hire competent, and eager employees with the hunger to move up. We are growing immensely and the opportunity to make a difference is high. Thanks for the advice! We recently started implementing exit interviews to improve our employee satisfaction. We apologize you saw our high work load as a con. We focus on hiring performance oriented individuals who can drive in the fast lane!
