Pros

Laid back, flexible time-off for emergency engagement.

Cons

Clueless about upcoming technology. Very hostile towards changes, innovations, new ideas. which is an irony because their motivation is excellence by innovation. If you want to survive in this company, don't even think about innovating. Just follow what your managers have planned out for you and improve a bit here and there based on his/her idea. If you try to push your own ideas, prepare to get shunned because your manager then won't get credit. Beware of managers who claim all credits of your work without even mentioning you, but then shift all the blame to you when problems arise. Note: These cons apply only to Columbus, IN headquarter. The branch in Cummins China Investment in Beijing is the complete opposite. Always embracing new ideas and adventurous innovators.

Pros

Good work-life balance, nice managers, convenient commute and life in small town.

Cons

Layoffs every three to four years, sometime don't even look at your performance history. Many long time loyal top performing employees laid off recently. Blind huge investment and hiring in India, draining company resources.

Pros

Good Pay, Good People, Fun at times. Clean, I really have nothing else good to say but have to meet the 20 word minimum.

Cons

Backward Implementation, No Document Control, No Automated Testing, Employee Self Evaluation take up about a month total for the year. Management not seasoned enough to see past their own egos. Say they are different but in the end just another corporation.
