Business Outlook

Pros

Market leader in its field, Fortune 500 company, opportunity for growth, reasonably good compensation and benefits. I have been here for more than a decade and am thankful for the career I've had. I've had some great mentors who have given me opportunities. They have supported my education, allowed me to move between locations for career growth and let me get time off for personal reasons.

Cons

Comes with the bureaucracy of a large company and one needs to be able to handle it. Middle management moves in and out of positions too fast. They don't stay long enough to implement initiatives.

Business Outlook

Pros

Cummins has very good database of engineering standard and Product data management system. For new engineer, these standards are holy bible to learn from.

Cons

Of course , it's Cummins Performance management system and forced ranking. The system is total BS Too much emphasis on community service, heart walk , united way, HPI. you know what I mean. your color , race will be good for company you when times are good. and they will be reason for layoff when times are like this. There are many "3" still with Cummins even after laying off 22% of US workforce.
