      A good solid company with some strange management issues. Not many people are really sure of what is going on.

      Pros

      Good communication from senior management team Good diversity training Fair pay On the face of it, employees are treated with respect Good e-training (where ever in the world you are)

      Cons

      Non performing middle managers (no fault of theirs ) who know little or nothing of what they are doing. Performance measurement is based on these managers and is basically down to your relationship with them or how they 'feel'. Middle Managers are terrified of senior management for some reason and don't want the whistle to be blown on their incompetence, so they just go along with anything. No standardisation of new employee training - you have to rummage around to find out what is available (both data and resources). Not really sure what is required of you and the goal posts change every time Never a full understanding of projects before going forward.

      Pros

      Excellent technology, training opportunities, professional growth, bonus, cheap cost of living, no traffic, ample parking, some friendly people, community involvement.

      Cons

      If you are not of the majority race, from the Midwest, Purdue graduate, your hobbies does not including beer, then you will have to learn how to battle in the engineering world while working at Cummins. One memory that will always stay with me is seeing senior management walk my fellow co-worker out during the layoffs.

      Pros

      Cummins is a great company to work with. I can't even list all the pros. I came in at a middle managerial role. I had a great boss and boss's boss. Open communication. High visibility. They take appraisals and reviews very seriously. Management makes every effort possible to ensure that leaders are developed and also to accomodate your interests. Creativity and initiative is encouraged/required. Great environment. Friendly , diverse and very inclusive. You will find people of so many different nationality. Its also very results driven and process oriented. Six Sigma is a way of life. Pay is good-above market usually. Great work life balance. They truly treat employees as owners. I left because I was leaving the country and relocating, and positions that I was looking for didn't seem available there. Good training, they are ahead of the curve in OD systems and policies.

      Cons

      Location. Too process oriented sometimes-primarily because of the size of the company. A lot depends upon your manager and department. Getting things done takes forever. Work gets mundane and boring- because we are a conservative manufacturing firm. Too procedural. We felt that the number of forms we had to fill up to accomplish a simple task took up as much time as the job itself. Too many metrics to meet -sometimes conflicting goals. PS: the 'we' was not intentional- but that's the thing about Cummins. You will always feel like its a family company.
