Pros

Its pretty easy to negotiate your base salary, you can also get a sign on bonus pretty easy, just ask for it!

Cons

Not a very inclusive environment. Performance Reviews are a joke within this Forced Ranking approach. If you are not liked you better start looking for a new job asap!

Pros

Flexible on work/life balance. Had great opportunity to work crossfunctionally within the organization. Also, appreciated the open door policy that many of the the people in executive leadership positions had.

Cons

Compensation was not as competitive as expected. Did not realize how much less I was making comparable to like positions within the industry until after leaving the company.

Pros

All in all, there a number of good things to say about the Fridley site: Cummins affords some high levels of latitude in project work. Colleagues, make for friendly work environment. Helpful and honest colleagues. Company supports employee professional growth. Competitive salary.

Cons

Unfortunetly, there are a number of things very unsettling about the site and organization from a management level: Top down (Senior & Corporate level) management is well communitcated, and in theory, are some good principles. Unfortunetly, it gets lost somewhere in the middle management level. I truly think several of these people are clueless on how to transcend the principles, or interpret them to fit there department. New software or update launches never go smoothly. Support is made available, but you'll spend more time talking with these people in the first 2-3 months of implementation, than you will on your own job! The review system in place has improved, yet, you never know where you stand against others in the same position. Even when you ask! Expect a closed-ended performance review, from a peer-to-peer basis. Makes for one spooky tenure, in any position. Like a lot of companies these days, layoffs are common, however I can think of a lot of better ways to handle departures; unless you like being escorted out of the workplace like a common criminal.
