Dear former employee,
thank you very much for your evaluation. We find it very unfortunate that you gathered these impressions during your time at SIXT. We would like to take the opportunity to invite you to a personal interview with Friederike Reichenberger, Executive Vice President Global People Management, to learn more about the circumstances. Just send us a short message to karriere@sixt.com with the subject "Kununu" and we will get back to you.
Thank you for your feedback.
Best regards
Dear former employee,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We're happy to hear that you experienced strong employee engagement during your time at SIXT – building a connected and motivated team is something we truly care about. We also appreciate your honest note on base pay and will take this into consideration as we continue to develop as an employer.
If you'd like to share any further thoughts or details, we'd love to hear from you at talents@sixt.com.

• 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
Minpunten
• 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
