Culture and values spot on

Pros

This is a family owned global manufacturer, distributor and direct sales company. This means there is ownership of the whole product and service offering, good values and culture that people actually seem to believe in and very supportive staff.

Cons

Company growing at such an extent that the support functions can't really keep up (big small company or small big company?), lack of cohesion between head office and the field based sales force.

Highly efficient, slow to change

Pros

Great work ethic from all employees. The sales force employees are best in class. Amazing, quality tools. Customer service team is the best in the industry. Consistently thinking ahead in terms of market reach strategy that drives fastening system innovations. Above average compensation.

Cons

Compensation comes with a price; you will be worked beyond your capacity. Work/life balance is not seen as a priority for team leads. As a private company with a direct sales strategy, if your functional area of competence is not in sales or engineering, change and innovation will be extremely slow. Functional area training is sub-par and at best just below average. The freedom to fail, and grow from taking risks is not welcomed. The management team in Switzerland is seen as authoritarian.

Pros

Hilti is a very customer focused company and treats all its employee well and fairly. The work atmosphere is generally very good and Hilti generally offers good opportunities to grow in your career and take onto new challenges. The company has an excellent strategy and senior manager takes a lot of effort in applying and following up on the strategy. Most teams also organise team events regularly.

Cons

Hilti HQ can be very process oriented - maybe an obsession of the DACH region! Hilti will always try to be consensus oriented which can lead to rather slow reaction and lack of agility. If you're more a start-up type person; maybe this is not the right place for you!
