      Pros

      I honestly don't have any

      Cons

      *Frequent turnover, very low morale, forced ranking creates intense animosity and fear amongst employees *You get good reviews including bonuses and salary increases but get canned the very next month. *Don't bother taking a job here unless you want to lose sleep every night about whether or not you'll have a job (especially if you make roughly six figures) *Very cliquish and unless you do it "the Cummins Way," you are not welcome *Competition among colleagues because of the forced ranking prohibits success and progression *Don't expect to take or use any vacation time and plan to work at least 60+ hours per week

      Get in, get some experience, then leave. Don't stay.

      Pros

      Laid back, flexible time-off for emergency engagement.

      Cons

      Clueless about upcoming technology. Very hostile towards changes, innovations, new ideas. which is an irony because their motivation is excellence by innovation. If you want to survive in this company, don't even think about innovating. Just follow what your managers have planned out for you and improve a bit here and there based on his/her idea. If you try to push your own ideas, prepare to get shunned because your manager then won't get credit. Beware of managers who claim all credits of your work without even mentioning you, but then shift all the blame to you when problems arise. Note: These cons apply only to Columbus, IN headquarter. The branch in Cummins China Investment in Beijing is the complete opposite. Always embracing new ideas and adventurous innovators.

      Should have a consistent talent strategy

      Pros

      Good work-life balance, nice managers, convenient commute and life in small town.

      Cons

      Layoffs every three to four years, sometime don't even look at your performance history. Many long time loyal top performing employees laid off recently. Blind huge investment and hiring in India, draining company resources.
