Pros

The people.. This is the key positive of the company and the only reason I lasted as long as I did.. The people you work with are just like a family in many instances, but that is changing quickly. The work is great for those who want to start out in their career and be challenged from day one.. Extreme focus on social issues.

Cons

Talk to all the long term employees and you will see that Cummins does not have leadership. They have management. Significant headcount reductions every three-four years, since the 1990's. Once the longer termed employees are removed in this cycle, there is a significant hiring push for less expensive hires within six months, almost each time. Just look at the social media sites today. 8-10% professional headcount reduction in process, while you see individuals announcing their recently accepted job offer to start in 2020.. When will the company realize the impact they are making on the lives of their people and the company? The cycle is clear, do something about it and stop the major hiring pushing and then major firing push that is easily seen..

Pros

Cummins is a great place to work. I love the people i work with. Some of the nicest, kindest and most capable people. It is a corporate that cares about its employees truly. Good pay, average benefits. Good work-life balance is promoted. A lot of opportunities for career growth.

Cons

Unable to keep up with new generation of companies, organizations and technology. Top heavy and bureaucratic management. Management is too focused on short term profits, not enough on people, products and services. Feedback only goes top to bottom.
