Hello i was wondering how is the working environment in Hilti? The Malaysian branch is located at Phileo Damansara. Its a MNC company like Bosch providing construction power tools worldwide. This branch deals with IT processes (SAP and Non SAP) globally. Izzit the same like T-systems?

Heres their website http://www.hilti.com.my

I would say its a great place to work. Especially to fresh grads, its highly recomended for those who want to learn SAP Basics (SCM, CRM, FICO, BW, Operations, ByD).

Hilti is actively expanding their IT Services in Kuala Lumpur.

The IT division is different from the Local division which is the Marketting organization.

i disagree with that...a lot of ppl left at one time...i wouldnt go back even if they asked me too...

Also, Hilti is end-user ...so if one is planning to learn, end-users isn't the place...

I get an interview with Hilti. Basically still in the initial phase, phone interview. Follow by face to face and media conference with their CIO at HQ. This is what I heard. Basically they are supporting users (60-70%) and the rest will be project base. I am talking about the Wintel position. They are leveraged, means u will be touching Linux and Backup as well. Still thinking want to proceed the interview or not, hehe. ANy idea?

Recently I have found Hilti job posting in jobstreet, I saw the above requirement, is it really a must for CGPS>3.5 or similar grading? May I know anyone who do not have CGPS>3.5 or similar grading tried to apply and successfully to interview?

i believe this is not the reason....
the main reason is alot of people resign from the company..thus alot of job opportunity from the company..


if the company have variety of job opportunity and do not have new project/client...you have a idea about this company..
turnover high can be mean bad benefit, low pay, stressful environment or very politic..

so choose wisely and ask more question about company when interview whistling.gif

As business for Hilti is good, Hilti Asia IT Services is actively expanding in Malaysia and doubled the headcount over the last 2.5 years. As Hilti IT wants to add another 50 jobs over the next 3 years, the job postings remain the same. Financial details for the Hilti group can easily be found in the web.
Fluctuation came down to 11% for 2012 and is less than 8% for this year, so there is not a lot of people resigning from Hilti IT.

But the last point maskedchan makes is valid: Inform yourself about your future employer (or ask during the interview)!

Hi, Chris. have you ever attended the hilti's interview? it seems that you have done loads of homework on hilti.
i would like to ask, during the interview, roughly what type of questions they might ask.... lets say, during their first interview.

as i attended some interviews around, there are basically two types.
1. it is a technical interview, specially for IT or technical related positions. asking about programming related stuff.
2. it can be a pure HR interview to evaluation the candidates' characteristics, personalities, communication skills and so on.

sometimes it is hybrid...

so for hilti, if it is the first interview(by phone), what it is about?
i am just afraid they can't get much of me just by phone....

by the way.... how is the salary there?

hope to get some insight from experienced one like you.

Hmm, yes, I have attended some interviews at Hilti.

The technical questions were quite short, mainly to check what is stated in your CV. As I applied for a senior position at that time, we started quite soon a good technical discussion... but the majority of questions is about the mindset of the candidate and whether (s)he fits the company's core values.

The first interview is done by phone to find out the very basics about you (and for you about Hilti), to identify gaps in your CV and finally to decide about to move on, the subsequent interview rounds are walk-in, eventually including a video conference interview.

Payment is good, not like O&G or consulting but around 3.3k per month for fresh grads.

thank you for the insight. so your suggestion is to find out some info of the company that i am about to be interviewed?
so they would ask some questions like "how much do you know our company"?

so far as i know hilti is like Bosch, who is making all kinds of tools for construction... from hammer to electronic drills and so on...
and it is a German comany...

can you elaborate a bit "Chinaman style", except their English might be a bit broken?

Why they are so concerned about the academic results?
Someone may work for several years or graduate like 10 years ago from their undergraduate degree....

Hi ChrisB,

Indeed i saw few openings for SAP position in Hilti, I'm certified SAP associate but only with 1 year working experience, may I know roughly what the expected salary range will be? (as I dont want to set some outrageous amount neither too low of an amount)

Are you working in Hilti now?

Haha u r referring to the marketing organization (MO), but the IT division is under an entirely different management from the MO. Most probably those ppl that left are salesmen. But yeah Hilti (MO) is a "localized" MNC but IT division seems to be much better.

ppl that i knew work for hilti never want to go back. For a mere position like SAP analyst, they require candidate to interview with senior management like CIO in Hilti HQ? As far as I m concerned, Hilti is not Shell Oil. I hope they dont think they are at level of Shell. They are not even half of Shell presence in Malaysia. Shell CIO has no time for puny interview like this. When they requested cgpa > 3.5 with very limited salary cap, question, who wants to bother interview there? I see vacancy like SAP analyst keep appearing on jobstreet. Their office at phileo 2 is not any glamorous at all, infact it is far from glamorous. laugh.gif

i am not saying i had a bad result for my undergrad.

but for someone who graduated 10 years ago, and during the interview the ppl asked about the cgpa, i just feel a bit wired.

academic result only can show the person's learning ability during that time of period(undergrad).
and i believe as a technical professional, the learning ability can be enhanced as time passes by.

i guess academic result cannot show any personal attitude and it is a bit bias to judge someone who graduated 10+ years ago with the cgpa of his/her undergrad.

and one more thing, cgpa is actually evaluated differently in different uni. in some uni, it is not that super difficult to get 3.5. but for some uni it IS very difficult to get > 3.5.

Yesterday phone interview with them, and today got result that they decided not to proceed with the job application which mean that I've failed cry.gif

Basically what I've prepared for the interview is the so called basic question like you guys said...

But yesterday, they interview me just like interviewing face to face feels like...every detail they asked from u...
during that time, I'm very nervous and not so calm... rclxub.gif plus the phone line not so clear where I cannot hear clearly what the interviewer said...

Quite interesting but probably not thought to the end. Following your logic ('...hope they dont think they are at level of Shell. They are not even half of Shell presence in Malaysia') Sime Darby, Maybank and others have the first right to interview the best people, then somewhen Shell and at the end of the chain, the small shop at Lowyat may interview people. On a global scale, Walmart gets the top people, then Foxconn, then IBM and ultimately the mamak stall?
I am pretty sure that the Shell CIO does interviews (at least the CIOs I know from other MNCs do that) - the question is on what level... Some companies make their candidates guess about the number of golf balls fitting into a B747 - so what?

What I see from the job postings is that their IT office is in Symphony house in PJ and their market organization is in Bandar Sunway, so I guess the Phileo 2 office is not in use anymore

When did your friends leave Hilti? As it seems to be interesting I did a bit of homework and googled a few of the keywords: The Phileo office is mentioned the last time early 2011, 'general manager hilti malaysia' leads to a linked in profile indicating that the current GM for the Bandar Sunway office is in place for about 2 years now, so it seems that they left some time ago.

@kenknee: Many big companies (and even more MNCs) usually have salary ranges that they are not deviating from. Often they ask about your expectation to learn how good you know the market. In large and good companies this should not really have in influence on the actual offer. I would give it a try...

I got a friend working at there, as I know she is really enjoy working over there. There's plenty of opportunity to travel around (when you get involved in different projects).

As I am interested on her company too, so I asked about their interview. You guys might often saw the job appearing in jobstreet, this doesn't mean that a lot of their stuff leaving Hilti, as I know they are very strict on interview, they wanted to get best of the best (in attitude) for their job. As you can see it's not easy to get into their company. They still expanding their base in Malaysia that's why they still hiring.

what I know is the opportunity that you can get promote over there is fully depends on your ability in work (it doesn't relate on your years of experience). My friends is so young and now her role is project manager over there.

I haven try to apply yet, I just know that basically their interview is more on looking into personality and attitude. They wanted a good leadership on their employee, able to involve in team job and more.

If you feel that you wanted to get a high position in short time, and you think you can perform very well in long working hour. I think Hilti is a very good choice.

Hi there,

HILTI (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd is a manufacturing company of professional construction (drilling & coring machines) & precision (laser) tools. This company also manufacturing both mechanical and chemical fasteners (bolts). It is NOT from Germany as perceived, but Liechtenstein. However, the largest MO by sales is from Germany. You may visit their website for more information.

HILTI (Malaysia) has a few branches nationwide and Malaysia HQ has relocated to their new office in Oasis, Ara Damansara, Subang from Sunway, PJ since December, 2013. However, the sales and logistic departments remains behind. The office in Phileo Damansara is to accommodates IT support dept.

Yes, it is a great company to work with and majority of the employees has easily worked for more than 10 years. Some of the salesmen I knew of in HILTI are millionaires. HILTI utilizes the latest soft wares to support their business worldwide. They are by far the one of the few companies that is willing to invest heavily in soft wares. HILTI has used SAP in the late 90s. HILTI Malaysia is the first 4 MOs worldwide to utilize this software.

Overall, I would say that it is a good training ground for fresh graduates and a wonderful company to work in if you are looking for international exposure. After all, it is a MNCs.

As for the comment on "cina apek" management, may I know which companies in Malaysia that is run by Chinese that does not possess the Cina apek management style?

Most importantly, you must understand that a company is only great because of their greatest asset that is the employees, and that means you. If you have what it takes to make a good company, by all mean, do approach the company anytime soon!

I wish you the best of luck!

Just to share my experience interviewing with Hilti Asia IT Services a few months ago. I applied for an IT Infrastructure Engineer position with Hilti. The office is no longer located at Phileo Damansara, but at Symphony House currently.

The first interview:
A phone interview between yourself and 3 interviewers. Very basic questions asked - mostly about going through your CV and identifying and clarifying certain grey areas. This goes on for about an hour.

The second interview:
A video conference (Lync) interview with the Group Lead of Workplace Platform and Client Services Team and Head of Workplace Platform Services. Make sure your internet connection is very, very stable or else you won't be able to grasp anything they ask/say properly. This interview is to find out about your attitude and if you are a perfect match for the "Hilti culture" and if they're a good match for you. They do tend to ask a few irrelevant questions during this interview, for God knows what reason. For example, they asked me "what is the best selling product of Hilti?" and "Where do you see the future of Microsoft heading?".

Third interview:
A face-to-face interview with Group Lead of Workplace Platform and Client Services Team (also in the video conference interview), the Managing Director of Hilti Asia IT Services and via video conference, the Head of IT Workplace & Application Services. Yes, it is a combination of face-to-face and video conference interview. Again, very similar to the second interview, going through your CV and identifying your attitude and recognizing your skills. Some questions regarding the technologies they're using in Hilti (e.g. Office 365 questions) and somewhat irrelevant questions (IMO) about the future of mobile computing and where does One Drive (formerly known as SkyDrive) fit in Microsoft's culture. With the Microsoft-based questions they were asking me, for a moment I thought I was applying to Microsoft...

4th interview:
Again, a face-to-face interview with four people. Group Lead of Workplace Platform and Client Services Team, 2 of his team members and Hilti Asia IT Services' Regional Infrastructure Manager. The purpose of this interview is to ask regarding your personal background and technical knowledge. During this stage of the interview, you might feel that you're in an interrogation room instead of an interview room. They will attempt, at their very best, to patronize and undermine your knowledge and skills and although this might be just me, but I really felt a bit disrespected by the panel of interviewers during this stage. I guess the purpose of this interview is to test your patience as well! Haha.

And there's supposed to be a FIFTH interview should I pass the fourth one, but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you see it), I didn't. Five interviews for a junior role in their IT Services team seem like a bit too much for me. But as one forummer said, it is up to them and it is their right to conduct interviews anyway they see fit, so...

In a nutshell, this is what I could summarize from some forummer's responses:
> The "cina apek" style is definitely there. The company is mostly Chinese, with one Indian guy in the team and no Malay or Sikh or other races on sight.
> I, too, have no idea what criteria is Hilti expecting. Probably the perfect candidate/employee. But newsflash, with 5 interview sessions, rest assured the perfect candidate/employee would have been snagged by someone else by then.
> For a company that presents itself as being "people-friendly" and "people-centric", I feel that they don't really respect potential candidates and would undermine their achievements and knowledge at any given chance they get. So, be prepared (and be patient) to feel insulted during their interviews (just a personal opinion).

Anyway, good luck if you're applying for Hilti. You might need it. Again, I have to stress that this is only applicable for those applying for Hilti Asia IT Services. I have no idea how their sales/marketing/etc interviews would go but I bet it'll be similar.

Are you working with Hilti? Can you share about the benefits offered by this company. I found out this company on jobstreet and the benefits stated are: medical, miscellaneous allowance, loans, dental, parking, vision. Do you mind to elaborate on these? There are quite limited information that I can find out about this company in Malaysia.

Thank you.

ChrisB That's my whole point incase you have missed it. 5 rounds of interview just for junior position. Haha. As I have posted earlier, HILTI CIO will interview you via tele-con for a puny position. Even if you succeeded entering the company, the "HILTI" reputation itself is nowhere near Shell or other MNC, stated in your CV. If they wanted to hire the best person, they should have compensated with good salary and good working environment. HILTI is nowhere near that, with more than 4 stages of interviews with limited salary cap, go ahead and apply it. waste your time.

Good pointers. Especially the bolded part. I feel you. Same thing happened to me. Just interviewed yesterday supposedly for a top local company. Got berated instead. I admit I am not an smart person but no need to be so arrogant. Stay away from these kind of companies. No need to be desperate.

I am not at liberty to discuss whether or not the company is good or bad but it all boils down to the experience you go through individually. Some might not feel what I felt, because if they did, then no one would be employed there. But if you ask for my personal opinion, if I were to be given an offer today to work there, I wouldn't. I would avoid the place like the plague. Simply because I don't feel like working in an environment where the senior employees would treat potential/new employees in a very arrogant manner, as I felt I had been treated. I wouldn't want to be in a toxic working environment like that. And that is, again, as I've stressed before, my own personal opinion.

In order for you to know for sure, you gotta apply for a job there and attend the interview(s). Then, you can share your experiences here for the benefit of others. What you go through might differ from what some of us have went through, so it could give a different perspective of the "Hilti way". smile.gif

P/s: Just to clarify, my interview with Hilti is limited to Hilti IT Asia Services and not other divisions of Hilti, so my experience might not correlate with yours if you applied for a different role.

Dude, please don't allow yourself to say something like that (bolded) just because of a bad interview. No one's "not smart", it's all about how we improve ourselves. Try applying for IBM, T-Systems, HP, banks, or even start up companies. Invest your time in knowledge and garnering experience, instead of harvesting the negative energy these guys bestowed upon you. It isn't worth an afterthought. Good luck smile.gif

I think it is not a good company in malaysia, good company will have people maintainaing and updating their website. Try checking out yourself in the website. Try clicking on the product line, it will stop at the mainpage. No details on the product they are offering at our local market. That reflects the condition of the company, nobody maintain the local website, nobody maintain company.

Hilti do have great products and might be good in US.

The one who interviewed me act as if he is really professional, mighty senior (maybe he is)
but at the end of interview...he asked if I have any questions...I asked about the main projects or objectives they are trying to receive now or in the near future... He talked about how many departments and what they do =.=" These are already described and can be found at internet... I am not sure if he was trying to keep their projects as a secret or he don't understand my questions.

Perhaps they should not act arrogant towards interviewee.. Hilti gave me the worst impression among all the interviews I have attended. Nevertheless, this was just my experience..

Hilti is definitely not a company to work for.

What sammy86 mentioned is spot on ! even for Hilti non- IT services.

In addition, VHR Consult Head hunter - Ms. Pei Sun seems to have some "special" arrangement with the company. She is the worst head hunter I have ever come across. She will definitely waste your time even though she knows you will not fit Hilti requirements. All show and no go.

I would say good luck if you want to start your career with Hilti but better to try else where.

Hilti is definitely not a company to work for.

What sammy86 mentioned is spot on ! even for Hilti non- IT services.

In addition, VHR Consult Head hunter - Ms. Pei Sun seems to have some "special" arrangement with the company. She is the worst head hunter I have ever come across. She will definitely waste your time even though she knows you will not fit Hilti requirements. All show and no go.

I would say good luck if you want to start your career with Hilti but better to try else where.

I did have chance to get interview few rounds; but failed just before meeting with CIO

My impression is; they are very picky in choosing employee. It seems that the future employee must have a mindset same as everyone in the firm from manager to CIO.

I had different impression when I was interviewed by people in KL; they are somehow "nicer" and quite friendly as well. From what I understood they really need resources to work for PJ office but it's very hard for them to get anything because everything must be approved by Swiss Bosses.

This is where the hard part is; my impression of the interviewer from Swiss; I think they are a bit cocky and slightly underestimating my knowledge. I have worked in 4 different companies in my past; raging from consultant to O&G; all are few times bigger than their company but the way they speak to me is hilarious.

There body gesture doesn't indicate that they are welcoming the future employee as compare to the guys in PJ.

I have worked in Europe before, and predominantly interacting with People from Swiss (France Region), not sure if there is culture different with Swiss Germany part but I did not get that feeling when talking with the guys in French region.

It seems they want to be sure that there employee is ready to devote everything to the company. Well, I always mentioned that my personal life comes first and working in company is simply to sustain your future. Perhaps they don't really like that answers smile.gif

I mean lets face it, who would devote their life for working? we are working to keep our life, and real life is with family.

The impression that many people has mentioned here are mostly correct. I think those people in Swiss should realize to the fact that their company still has a lot of jobs to do in brand marketing. They are acting as if they are as big as Shell, Exxon Mobile, Siemens, Nokia etc. Come on dude, I even had to google when I first heard the company name.

Some of the people there has work for 10-20 years; practically they might not had seen any other company. If you never leave your yard, then obviously you will think that your grass is the greenest of all. Thats the one reason why they think that they are the best.

I am just feeling a bit sorry for those people in PJ who had worked intensively to find new employees; going all the painful time consuming process just to get rejected by their bosses.

I wasn't too disappointed when I did not get the job as I wasn't sure I would be getting the same perks that I currently enjoying in my current company. In fact I was quite glad when it did not go through, it safes a lot of my time and allow me to focus on my current work. I don't have to trouble my self to drive to Damansara while in fact currently I have the luxury to work from home as per my convenience.

Even if they would give me increase 20-30% ( which I doubt they could) I still wouldn't move ship.

If any of you want to join, be prepared for the long hours of interview and good luck with your future.

Surprisingly Hilti is quite a big brand in construction industries.. maybe the people in PJ office are the bad fruits.

Well, I remembered that went through 1st and 2nd interviews for the position and weeks later found I didn't get the job because they said 'found better candidate'.
Few months later, the same position re-post again in Jobstreet.

Something is not right there.

Toxic environment to say, you will see a lot of turnovers eventually.

There are a few companies in Jobstreet like this, they are like Chipsmore.

Also in any interview session, one should be professional as there are probation period for employment (HR tool). A company can assess the person from head-on.

actually with so many rounds of interview, I wonder if there's higher chances of them hiring people who can talk/present more than doing the actual work.. would be a nightmare working in such a place!

Your boss, and boss's boss is good and professional. Working culture wise is good for your department. Job prospect wise depends how you assimilate and play your important job role. Benefit bonus compensation package I would say ok la. For DE you will have a quarterly bonus on top of the annual bonus. You get personal car, personal phone, personal laptop, personal Internet for the laptop and free petrol. Tolls I recall they only give you a fixed amount per month together with your salary. If you exceed the usage you just claim them like your common expense claim.

Overall it's a performance driven company. If you're smart it's easy peasy. culture wise they try to mold a family or team unity kind of concept. So expect everyone is happy go lucky and always jokes around like brothers and sisters.

I just accepted an offer to work in Hilti HQ, so I thought I wanna share my experience here of their interview process.

Basically the whole process started out with a phone screening, they will ask you some basic questions about your experience and why you want to join Hilti and what do you know about the company. Once I passed that, they invited me for a group hiring process at their office in Oasis Damansara a week later.

There are 3 parts of the interview process at their HQ, individual interview and a group activity.

Individual Interview:

The interview is done by 2 of their current manager, it is pretty basic. They ask you about your experience, and how would you solve certain problems in the work place either for your customer or between your colleagues.

Group Activity:

It is a role playing activity. I was in a group of 4 people where we were given a case study then we have 20 minutes to prepare to make a presentation as a group.

Once you have done the first 2 parts they will call out certain name out from the room and then you will know if you are selected for the last part of the process which is the final interview. The final interview is done with the current General Manager and the Head of HR. Once that process is done, if you are to be offered a position there you will have to go for a field-ride with their existing staff to learn more about the business and how it runs.

I was offered to go for the field ride on the same day I done the final interview.

All in all the whole process took about 2 weeks for me before I was offered the position. Will be starting my job there soon and I am looking forward to it. Seems like a great company with good culture.

If you guys have any questions lemme know.

Hello there, from your description it seems like a sales or account manager role is it?

How’s your experience now after 10 months? Still with Hilti? And I appreciate if you would share more on your experience

Hey there, yeap it is a sales position and yes I am still with Hilti. Just to be clear, I am with Hilti Malaysia and not Hilti IT. So far everything has been good for me, I enjoy what I'm doing right now. I can only speak for the sales team, the company wants you to have an entrepreneurial spirit when it comes to working. So you basically have to treat it as if like you're running your own business, there is plenty of support from the office all the way to the top. Benefits are good and the company does care about their employees. Are you looking to join?

Well for all the points you explained, I receive similar message from HR through phone interview. Thus I’ll be coming for the group assessment as well as individual interview, next week.

And yeah it is a sales role too. Looking forward for d-day. One thing that attracted me to Hilti is that they appreciate people potential over other form factors like experience or expertise.

But one of my concerns is that I’m not from construction industry background, hence I’m curious how competitive is it being a sales professional in this industry, and the kpi I read is quite high and competitive is it?
*
I wasn't from the construction industry myself and most of the sales guys here are not from the construction industry as well. But there will be plenty of training and support from your team and other departments as well. As long as you're willing to learn, they are willing to share/teach. But I do have to say the job does require you to go into construction sites quite often so be prepared for that.

Thanks for the insight and good to hear the support.
I think that is the most important factor in executing our job as sales.
And yeah, expected the sites visiting, hence i saw alot of Hilti 4WD vehicles around town.

One more feedback i wish to know, is this industry competitive/tough? As a sales yourself i'm sure the challenge is competing with other brands, though Hilti's brand is considered strong in construction industry right?
