Pros

Leader in diesel engine technology. Good place to learn latest emission technology. Product Development Cycle is well established. Reasonable work load. Very good location to enjoy small town charm.

Cons

Forced performance ranking. It has good intention but seems to have some negative impact on employees.

Pros

Cummins is a good place to work if you are interested in engines. The starting salary is fairly comparable to other companies with the same positions. The benefits are decent. Overall the people that work for Cummins are friendly.

Cons

There is poor communication between employees. Also the environment is extremely political, you scratch my back and I'll scrath your's type of group. The friendly people that you work with will stab you in the back if they are given the chance. Promotion is given more on a basis of who you know and who you are in good with than based on performance.

Pros

Descent balance of work/family life. Good technology, but disconnected from sourcing and manufacturing teams

Cons

Forced Ranking arbitrarily administered. Rankings overruled based on feelings and political gamesmanship in evaluation meetings. Lack of truthfulness in feedback given to be fed back to reports. Integrity of leadership suspect as all work pits workers against workers and has resulted in some mysteriously sabotaged projects. Sr. Managers missed key market indicators on the up and now the down side of the business. Currently running 40% of capacity, while last year we were being pushed to grow capacity 25%. Benefits are weak and pay is below top level. Highly PC with discriminatory policies against certain groups. White boys need not apply.
