Pros

you will find people gossiping about salary, politics, boot licking etc.

Cons

they can hire a fresher as a manager at onsite location to rule over indian labour Either Europe or India, hiring is purely based on approach and referral In India a person has given so much power that he is hiring from his old company at position like architect, lead etc you could be scolded in front of all at floor becuase so called lead's mood was not good(it happened to me) they work like a labour. being a product company they don't have any say in feature development the QA team is pathetic. even 12th class student can test application better than their so called qa engineers

Pros

A lot of investment put into you in terms of training & training days.

Cons

- Management always talk about having strong values but do the complete opposite of them. - Micro-management through the salesforce system. - Bonus changed from monthly to quarterly, seemed to be a cost cutting exercise. - Sales targets are ridiculously high now so bonus seems an unrealistic achievement. - Always talk about progressing you onto next role - however, when you feel ready and want to apply they talk you out of it. - If your face fits...you will get a job, regardless whether you are capable of doing it. - There is a lot of talk about 'Diversity & Inclusion', but most people in a high position are white, middle aged males.

Pros

Red case (Product) got your foot in the door with customers. Work life balance flexibility. Additional week of annual leave. Most Asms (line managers) great people to work with.

Cons

A recent change Of management have ruin what used to be a great Culture. Working at Hilti for 2 years and an experience that started as the best job, turned into the worst job. Core product lines constantly out of stock, causing the customer facing staff to handle the customer abuse with no solution and loss of sales. Company culture is non existent, a consistent amount of negativity amongst the sales team and unhappiness. Remuneration far off the mark of where it needs to be. A promise of big commission and bonus’s to make up the shortfall but it is extremely hard to make these targets. Unless you are in the specific trade code that is doing well. A promise of development and career progression is made to multiple people with many waiting years and years for that next step. Personally I would recommend you continue the job hunt and take a position at another company so you don’t make the same mistake and waste a few years of your life.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We take your comments seriously and will pass along your feedback to our executive leadership team. We appreciate your contribution over the past two years and we are happy to read that you had a good experience with Hilti regarding work life balance, the quality of our range of products, and that you enjoyed working with our line managers. On the other hand, we are concerned about your perceptions of our company culture, career progression, product line logistics issues, and leadership approach. Our people engagement & culture are at the forefront of our business strategy. We believe in transparent and honest communication for all of our employees through open and frequent conversations, processes alignment and feedback. This is the leadership team approach and we are pleased to share that through this approach we have had over 60 promotions and moves across Hilti Australia since January this year with sales outperforming across all business trades in all states. We are excited for what is yet to come! Our compensation and rewards team ensures our salary package and reward initiatives are aligned with the market and is fair and transparent across the business. As the world shifts and we are still faced with the impacts of COVID, our logistics and product teams work extremely hard to continue to improve and adapt to the current climate, providing the best solutions and working collaboratively with the sales teams to minimize possible loss in sales. We wish you all the best for the future and sincerely hope that you find an employer that suits your needs.
