Pros

Cross-functional opportunities, Global presence, brand value, quality products

Cons

There is no caring and performance culture here, it's on paper only. AMs and ASMs are being treated like slaves and labours, who are the most important part of company. There is high negatively, dissatisfaction and frustration among sales force. No transeperncy in salary structure, huge variations in salaries for same position. Unrealistic targets are set even after knowing the area, customers, projects and market situation so that all bonus and incentives will go on toss. Surprisingly, targets of most growing cities of India are set low than struggling cities. Huge politics, everyday harrassment. Management is only number centric. EMT says they don't care and it's ASM and AMs problem and their lookout if things are not happening. EMT is not interested in customer visits or any discussions to formulate the solution of a problem, instead they will keep on harrassing and cornering you with whatever information they have. No guidance,no coaching to ASMs and they are blamed always to safeguard their own job. It is shocking that EMT uses foul language with zero professionalism like some local unethical companies. No personal life,no family life. You even just can't think of going on vacation. And if by any chance you or your team member took leave then be ready for tremendous torture. Always there is a threat given that you will get fired at any moment which was never the feeling with this company earlier. They talk and behave like they own the company and they can do whatever they want to do just because they are old employees. People above ASM just sit in office together and keeps on harrassing people working very hard on ground level. Account Managers and ASMs are under such a great pressure that they don't even remember to have food on time which can cause long time health issues, stress, anxiety and depression.

Pros

Good products Good Training Program Reputed Brand

Cons

Hilti Culture and values which they brag about are certainly being compromised at senior level. All caring and support culture is only on paper and in reality it is non caring and totally unsupportive culture. Senior management consider account manager (sales) as their slaves and they only care about sales numbers. If you do numbers every month then you are safe or else be ready to get thrown out of company .. . Pathetic leadership. Narcissist Mindset. Directionless Management. Too much micro management. People who are settled on a senior position only do politics and do gossiping. No motivation is left in the account managers to do their daily work. Each and every sales person you speak with is frustrated with their job. Please do not get too much excited about car which is being offered by company. Car is not going to help you grow in your career. Advice to middle level job seekers is to stay away from them. They will ruin your career. Freshers can stay upto 1-2 years to get an experience.

Think 1000 times before you accept their job offer!

Pros

Money is not everything. Better repenting later, remember that your current organisation is far better than saying yes to this organisation's job offer.

Cons

A typical sales organisation, loaded with sick middle management. Middle management is immature to handle decent professionals. - Managers are just sick enough, which you will feel from your first hour in the organisation. Will force to work post your working hours, Saturdays, long long hours. -Their mindset is just like typical a desi organisation. - They will not let you adjust in the environment. - Middle management is making the new joiners leave so early, repenting why they took the decision to join this organisation. -Upper management is just not doing anything to these middle management bad behaviors. I would recommend you to think 1000 times before you accept their job offer, rather stay in your current organisation and wait for another good opportunity.

Hilti Group Response

Hilti is an open, honest and transparent company – and as such we welcome feedback to improve our organisation and offer the best possible working environment for all employees, so thank you for taking the time to leave a review on Glassdoor. We’re disappointed to see your comments above and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further. We offer a flexible work environment and as such offer many benefits to ensure a strong work life balance. We’re troubled to see that you mention you were forced to work past your normal working hours – as this is not the culture we’ve worked very hard to develop. If you wouldn’t mind leaving us your contact details by emailing the contact details at the bottom of this response we’d really like the opportunity to look into this on your behalf – as this falls below the very high standards we expect. Sometimes when we work to outperform, responsibilities require a flexible approach to working beyond the stipulated hours as necessary – however, this is not the norm and our team leaders as well as team members are mature enough to understand this. We invest huge resources into the hiring, onboarding and training of new staff members and therefore making new joiners leave early is counterproductive to our business and not the culture we promote. Our new hires undergo a rigorous orientation and integration which lasts upto 6 months. We would like to point out that, therefore, new hires do get engaged early and do not like to leave Hilti as demonstrated by our high engagement scores, very low attrition (14%) and very high integration success rate (88%). We’re proud that Hilti India amongst many of our other markets was awarded a Great Place to Work award for 2017 – this award is voted for anonymously by our work force and therefore does not reflect the environment you describe in your review, however if you would like to talk to us about this further and raise any concerns you had during your time at Hilti please email HRIndia@hilti.com and a member of our team will be in touch as soon as possible
