Cummins reviews

IT is backwards. Much of the work is outsourced to vendors who can't code, can't speak English, and have no understanding of the fundamentals of end to end programming. In addition, there is an internal shared services group for infrastructure which cares more about how to eak money out of the business then in actually delivering and sustaining systems. Personnel doesn't have their act together either. There's a lack of coordination for bringing on new people. It's like once they are hired, people forget that they need the basics to do their job. Six sigma is something that many folks are supposed to do but in many cases, it's not true to what the discipline is. While there are ways to improve things through a six sigma process, not everything fits into that structure yet, if it is labeled potentially cost saving, it will be shoved into that structure.

Although the company does a great job of communicating metrics to the employees and how each employee or role can influence those metrics , sometimes it is difficult to accept that one really has a say so in the "big picture". While Cummins is a great company to work, compensation for similar work in other organizations is much higher. It is known, internally, that Cummins is not the best paying place to work, but many of the benefits (great place to work/flexibility) sometimes make it harder to leave .
