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...

yes,just wondering they will ask academic result.Interviewed before too,for me their team sound like alot Chinaman style and interviewer english abit broken.During interview,i feel it,maybe i sense wrong.

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....

Haha.I really no idea why.maybe academic result will reflect someone's attitude?

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.
