Good company to work for, still a lot to improve

Pros

Good starting salary for a fresh graduate. Good benefits including 401k match, pension plan, stock purchase plan, etc. Willing to sponsor international employees H1-B visa, although requires minimum 3 years of service before starting the green-card application. Work-life balance is OK. Good people in the company. Managers are generally easy to work with. There are a lot of young engineers recruited in the recent 3 years, which has made the corporate culture more vibrant than a typical manufacturing company.

Cons

There is an unbalanced work load distribution within the engineering teams--some people get too much on their plates while others often don't get enough work to do. Data management is poor and disorganized. Global growth strategy does not appear to be optimal.

Pros

Good Company benefits decent pay.

Cons

Working at Cummins if you are inexperienced, shut your mouth, obedient and could care less about your job or customers then you will make it big time here! Management will not hire you if you are experienced, knowledgeable, dedicated, and care about your customers/job. I have been told by my management not to apply for jobs that they will pick the job for me and come to me when it is time. If you disobey and go ahead and apply you will not get the job (hint)! Also, they tell you to apply for jobs and then get mad at you and turn around and tell you not to apply. (Very wishy washy) I would file an ethics complaint but does not good if the person you are complaining about has family on the board that handles the ethics complaints. Another thing if you are a woman working in this male dominated environment good luck. Women are treated like underdogs and some of the women just accept it. Then there is the case where you have older workers with great experience and they never get promoted. Cummins preaches diversity just not at our location apparently. Very sad to the company has decent pay and benefits but managements inexperience is what is bringing this company down. Like previously stated if you don’t show your experience and keep quiet then you may have a fighting chance here. Good luck!
