      Pros

      Easy interview process, okay work-life balance depending on team leader, location

      Cons

      Sexist, mothers get bullied to leave jobs, old-school hierarchical system, broken promises from HR and manager daily occurrence, many roles full of elementary tasks, advancement difficult if not fluent in German, creepily quiet office and unnerving ambiance sets tone for employment experience

      Pros

      Training is good, products are good and you depending on who your regional manager is it can work out either good or bad.

      Cons

      The problem with Hilti is that it has become a numbers game when it comes to employees. They do not value their employees and are churning them out so quick.They are replacing managers with a wealth of experience with University Graduates which is a bit if a kick in the teeth., If your Daily Sales Report is Green then your ok, if its red you have to explain why. The company is looking to employ over 600 account managers in GB by 2020. This only suggests that bonuses will become tight and harder to achieve, salary increases will be minimal and they currently don't pay in line with the market anyway. Claiming a sale is a joke. If you did all the leg work and the sale gets delivered outside of your territory you get 50% of the sale regardless of the value as an account manager. As a projects person you only get 50% no matter how hard you work. There is different rules for different people in this organisation, some people get promoted within 3 ot 6 months of a role and others not for 5 years , 3 years. They make up some crap to stop your promotion. There have been people in this company who have hit all their targets year on year and have not even been given a sniff of a promotion yet some people that turn up at the social events are more favoured for this promotions because its the face that fits.

      Best company I have ever worked for!!

      Pros

      Absolutely fantastic company to work for - I would never, never leave. Training is second to none, as a corporate office employee I'm offered lots of different training opportunities and even training on the tools just to better understand our business and it's high quality products. Extremely flexible working hours - flexibility to start work slightly later if I need to do the school run and the trust from management that I'll always put in extra hours if needed to complete my work load. Diverse working environment - the company is extremely passionate about diversity, you'll be working with employees from pretty much every country you can think of and hear lots of different languages throughout your working day. Extremely friendly and supportive colleagues/management - Hilti only employee people that fit into the culture of the business - colleagues that have never met you will always say hello, ask you how you are and what you do. Plenty of social events - with a dedicated social committee regular events take place to integrate yourself between management (management do regularly attend these events) - these can include simple pub quizzes to trips to the races, bowling - even group salsa lessons! By far the best feature of the business is your ability to progress, develop as a person and professionally and the ability to travel the world. Hilti is present in pretty much every continent. The option to request a potential secondment or even full time role is seriously considered as part of your regular development meetings. If staying local - the possibility for promotion is extremely high if you're prepared to work hard and add value to the business. There are hundreds of examples of long serving staff members that have progressed from an Account Manager/Field Sales (or even apprentice) to regional managers, national managers and then to sales management. Other have moved from sales to finance/marketing functions and eventually into management. If you want to do it, you show the drive and passion to work for the business the possibilities are endless!

      Cons

      The only cons are the that the company doesn't shout about it's employee benefits / success enough when trying to attract new employees. For example, it was only until I recieved an offer for my role that I realised we all get Private Medical Insurance and Life Assurance from day 1 - regardless of role. We get a more than generous bonus scheme (on average 7-% higher than the UK average even during the recession) - flexible working, laptops, mobiles, in some cases company vehicles and health benefits including half price gym membership through vitality health, regular free health checks/medical checks and rewards for exercise (signing upto vitality and registering an evening jog for example can earn you vouchers for free starbucks coffee) These things can be the difference between staff joining Hilti or their competitors - shout about it from day 1 and be proud of the way you look after your staff - regardless of role, grade or seniority!
