Pros

There's a lot going well for the company in terms of its engineering. Its a global company so local autonomy outside the mothership is good for business - and tends to get things done.

Cons

While it starts with a weeklong training program, teaching us about the missions, vision, values and diversity of thought it comes down to, really, if you're from a small town you'll do fine. The big company with a small town mentality is stifling and politics rule the daily life and frustrations of big companies... too much Six Sigma like consensus decision making. Do as you're told and you'll be fine.

Pros

Work life balance is great as there is very little work for non engineering jobs

Cons

Thankfully I left the company in July. Since then Cummins is laying off 2000 people. They behave as exactly any other cut throat bank to fire people and fired mostly Indians and Chinese people (based on anecdotal accounts). No explanation. Extremely poor idea of what should be done in the future, mindset of a fast follower not a leader. Plus Columbus has to be the absolute worst place to live in the US especially if you are not 50 years or older. Salaries are below par from other general management jobs which you can get post MBA.
