Pros

In the many years I have been working at Cummins, I have had mulitple opportunities to work on a variety of projects and programs. Most were challenging and rewarding. Cummins does not heavily restrict individuals from changing jobs and 'shifting' around the company.

Cons

Forced ranking is always a controversial and devisive exercise. "Every Year"
