Interview
Applied online. Got a response the next day by the HR manager for interview dates. It was a telephonic interview. The questions were behavioral and pretty standard. She asked me why I wanted to work with Cummins. The response from the company was very prompt. I got a call for second interview after 2 days.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did you use your technical skills/education to do something innovative/challenging?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cummins (Minneapolis, MN) in Jan 2013
Interview
I applied online, got a call from one of their talent scouts 3 hours later. They wanted some basic information - where do I go to school, when do I graduate, work sponsorship and so on. There was also a behavioral interview after that for around 30 mins. Standard questions, why do you want to work for Cummins, leadership experience etc.
The second round was with a senior manager at Cummins (the director of manufacturing excellence or something). He made me go through my resume completely. He tried to see whether I'd be a good fit to the company or not. It was more of a discussion rather than a "traditional interview". He asked me which areas I'd like to work on and explained what I might learn. The whole thing lasted for 45 mins. The experience was pleasant.
One tip I would give future candidates is to learn much about Cummins as possible before your interview. Check the requirements of the job, make sure you have all those qualifications. Explain why you'd be a good fit to Cummins to interviewer.
