Pros
Pros: Good work-life balance. For professional positions, option to work from home at times. Benefits kick in first day of employment. Global company (interact with suppliers and customers around the world.) For technical: hands-on work. High levels of diversity. Willing to hire those needing a visa. It's a good place for a new college grad to spend about 3 years gaining experience and look for something else. The Cummins brand still has some value.
Cons
Cons: Two layoffs in the past year. First was company-wide. Second was due to restructuring within Power Gen. Before new-hires were off limits. That's no longer true. Leadership keeps saying markets are down and rather than reduce leadership positions, they shift those around and layoff regular employees. Cummins focuses too much on diversity, they rather spend more money hiring H1-B than hire diversity within the country. Pay compensation is below market. For professionals, it's expected to answer email communication during off-hours and vacation because they give you a laptop during orientation. Most engineers there don't know what's needed for the electrical portion of generators. It got worse after the restructuring where most new management positions went to engineers with no generator experience. They focus too much on the engine side and manufacturing. Moving up into leadership positions on the technical side is difficult. The best way is to jump into the business side, like MBA or project management and somehow make it back into technical. Corruption exists. Make the right friends and a lot of the best opportunities open up to you. Morale the past year has been low. Leaders let anticipation build up for too long before layoffs. Many good employees have left the company, thus retention is low. They end up hiring recent college grads and don't train them well enough to make an impact early on.
