Pros

- great work-life balance - healthy working environment and friendly colleagues - great chances to build international career

Cons

- all decisions are made in HQ in Lichtenstein. All you can do on a country level is just implement global initiatives without questioning or challenging global decisions. Also even small and insignificant changes can take ridiculous amount of time to approve and implement. You can keep all your great ideas to yourself, nobody will bother to do anything unless they get directions from HQ. - Hilti doesn't acknowledge its mistakes and failures. You can only say how great everything is. -> lots of outdated and redundant processes and inefficiency. - Top-management is absolutely detached from reality. - Lack of ambitious and bright people. 95% of employees go to work to get their salary and be home by 5:30pm. If you strive to learn, create and innovate, this is not a right place for you. - It's a cult. You can't complain, say anything negative, even if you objectively mention some imperfections and inefficiencies. You might the most talented specialist in the whole world, but if you ever say anything negative, like "I don't think this will work, maybe we should reconsider this and that" your career is over.

Pros

-Healthy benefits package for pension and death in service -Company vehicle -Really in depth training -Some great people in the company

Cons

So there are clear disconnects between the leadership team and those of us on the ground. Causing many to leave the company in recent months. The largest issues -Convoluted bonus system -No flat increase of salary (Even though the company has seen 30% growth in GB) -Line managers having to take time off with stress -Areas which will constantly be moved around, meaning you lose customers whom you have a strong relationship with and now have to start from square one -Issues with the wider business, specifically couriers and repairs -No space for progression -An obsession with growing the sales division even more, causing areas to be smaller and wages to remain diluted -Unobtainable targets Many more issues.

Pros

Most colleagues and peers were great people, who try their hardest to uphold the Hilti culture

Cons

Higher management may seem like they care about you - but it definitely isn't the case behind the scenes. Personal, sensitive and UNTRUE information was spread incredibly publicly to random colleagues/peers, for no reason other than to gossip. There's also been an increase in hiring of managers who are rude and uphold awful values. Career-wise, if you're not aiming for a management role, you're basically deemed useless.
