Thank you for leaving us a review on Glassdoor. We promote an open culture at Hilti and we take all feedback we receive very seriously – naturally we’re disappointed to read a review of this nature but we can ensure you that we will pass your feedback on to our leadership team. 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 Our efforts in the recent past, especially the last two years has been to work on the agenda of transformation’ some aspects of which you have alluded to which impact the company culture, policies and systems, and also fundamentally change the way we work and lead our teams. All such exercises are extremely intense in nature and we have set the bar very high for ourselves. This has required some difficult decisions that have clearly impacted different people in varying degrees and these also sometimes occur in a sequence that does not bring immediate short-term relief. The changes have been made for the long-term success of the company and to ensure we offer the best possible work environment and we believe we have done this for the right reasons, and will be an ongoing journey. We note that you are a current employee of Hilti and therefore we would ask you to raise any concerns you have to your team leader, or confidentially to your local HR department. We’d appreciate the opportunity to work with you on any issues you have raised in this review and hope that we can work together to help alleviate any of your ongoing concerns.

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 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
