Pros

Good products and friendly Account Managers

Cons

Hilti is a good place to work globally but if you are looking to be in sales in GB, I would avoid like the plague. The directors have no clue what is going on or any form of decent strategy in place. Almost all AM's have no trust in the leadership.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review – we agree our products and colleagues make Hilti very special. Our team members’ views on Hilti GB have led to us being voted #35 in the Times Top 100 Places to Work in 2019, the 13th consecutive year we have appeared on the list, and in our latest internal survey 82% of employees in GB sales tell us that Hilti is a great place to work. We are always keen to hear feedback from our team so we would encourage you to discuss any specific concerns with us directly, either via your HR Business Partner, the internal opinion survey or our regular State of the Company sessions.

Pros

Flex-work. Reasonably good products. Good canteen. Good colleagues, in general

Cons

Managers are asked to "encourage" employees to give a good rate on Glassdoor, other platforms, and surveys that rank best employers. Consequently the results are misleading. Middle management are often too junior. Many times their collaborators are more experienced and qualified than them. Your career depends on how much the decision makers like you. If you're of Germanic race, then you're better per se (shame). And if you are a good bootlicker, this is the right place for you. People in HR department are nice, but unfortunately don't have a say in anything.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. At Hilti, we do encourage open feedback through a number of channels including; Glassdoor, Times Top 100 Employers and our Global Employee Opinion Survey (GEOS). We do this so that we can engage our employees on a number of topics and work with them to generate improvement action plans where necessary, which we then review at regular check points throughout the year. Whilst we don’t promote or encourage our employees to leave positive reviews, we do advertise the fact that both employees and external candidates have the opportunity to have their say (positive or negative) through these channels. Here at Hilti, each employee also has a very clear individual development plan which is reviewed on a regular basis and we’re proud that 80% of management roles are filled by internal candidates because of this process - but we’d love the opportunity to discuss this topic and your feedback further with you.

Pros

Well. As your professional development! NOTHING. Car, Fuel, Incentives these are all pros but they are secondary if you are sincere about making your career.

Cons

1. Employees are treated like slave. 2. Management is meant for politics 3. Work Environment is pathetic 4. Only show off culture. You can find the worst person of your life in Hilti.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review - naturally we're extremely disappointed with what you have written. We periodically measure the engagement of our employees on several parameters including the work environment, culture and team leadership as well as inclusion each year through GEOS. This year Hilti India has scored well above the industry average. Since your experience with the company does not seem to have been good, I would urge you to open up and let us know the exact circumstances that lead to this so that we can improve ourselves. To discuss this further, please send your contact details to HRIndia@hilti.com and a member of our team will contact you as soon as possible Thank you once again for taking the time to write a review and we look forward to speaking with you soon.
