      Pros

      Good engineering skills (generally). Good relationship with customers and suppliers. There are some good opportunities to 'move' outside of ones organization.

      Cons

      Management continues to hire outside of the US and it places undue burden upon those who have to manage and train. Some individuals can not drive in the US and those who have driver licences have to drive these employees around (weekends and to Krogers). Very PC and not looking at the total "skills" just appeasing govermental appearances. If this was my company, and I if I wanted to be competeable in the world market, i would not practice this practice. Health care is very poor (not comparable to their competition)

      Good company to work for, if you value diversity and community service

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Diversity initiatives are really good. LGBT awareness since before it was 'fashionable' for companies to claim so. Treatment of others at work is held high. Encourages women engineers to become leaders 2. Fosters community awareness and rewards employees for community service. 3. Entry-level pay is above-median pay for engineers. 4. Ability to pick up new job roles, and excellent ex-pat jobs if you're inclined. Cummins also has presence in major countries, and many young engineers pick up 1 or 2 year assignments wherever they want.

      Cons

      1. Not a research oriented company, tends to favor cost-effective manufacturing higher than bringing forth newer ideas. Most of the research is 'service' oriented and focused towards fixing issues on current products. 2. Company goes on 'hire-and-fire' mode frequently. Since 2010, three such instances have happened. A lot of good brainpower was lost, and entry level engineers struggled to keep up with the work. 3. Forced ranking still used for employee performance grading. They may not call it in as forced ranking but that's what it exactly is. The method may work in manufacturing, but amongst researchers it creates a culture of being overtly protective of their work, hurting collaboration.
