Cummins reviews

The worst part of Cummins is the forced ranking and firing. Every year managers are required to rank their employees and then a set percentage of the bottom are fired. This worked well the first few years it was mandated but now Managers are loosing good employees. Also this forces a competition between employees and hampers team work. It has become more of a "favorites" system, and highly capable employees are choosing to leave since job security is not available. They are leaving to go to companies where they do not have to walk on egg shells trying to not be the person ranked the lowest.

As I have recently learned the salary is low. Engineering leadership is on the decline; more leadership good at box checking than being an engineer. As many places are CMI relies on relationships to get the next promotion. Instead of increasing salary they keep adding benefits you don't need. They hire to fire; layoffs every 4ish years like clockwork. Growth opportunities exist when new employees and for certain individuals when more experienced. Now they are taking volunteers to leave; business is good but we need you to leave please. They are hiring a lot of external executives to lead and it is changing the mood and feel and lower level hiring. I think these individuals are just trying to capitalize off the current environment and don't really care about CMI; they seem so fake.
