Pros

You can get a lot of responsibility quickly. Can move around easily within company. Good technology. Good co-workers (generally).

Cons

Cummins is an unfaithful employer. The ranking system with forced layoffs creates a poisonous atmosphere. Because of the system, employees doing good work are routinely fired. While the current company position is that there are nor forced layoffs, don't believe it. They will be back as soon as the current hiring binge is over. So be realistic - go to Cummins to get a lot of experience early in your career, then leave for a company that is more faithful to its employees. don't stay more than 3 to 5 years. You don't want to be stuck in Columbus mid-career when your turn to get fired rolls around. The hypocrisy between Cummins happy talk about a "great place to work" and the forced ranking and layoffs is breathtaking.

Pros

Many good people just trying to make a living

Cons

Management panders to left wing liberals and gay rights advocates. Uses a high percentage of offshore contractors which displaces the need for US employment. This also holds impacts US employee growth and salaries. Not an American first strategy.

Pros

I honestly don't have any

Cons

*Frequent turnover, very low morale, forced ranking creates intense animosity and fear amongst employees *You get good reviews including bonuses and salary increases but get canned the very next month. *Don't bother taking a job here unless you want to lose sleep every night about whether or not you'll have a job (especially if you make roughly six figures) *Very cliquish and unless you do it "the Cummins Way," you are not welcome *Competition among colleagues because of the forced ranking prohibits success and progression *Don't expect to take or use any vacation time and plan to work at least 60+ hours per week
