Cummins reviews

Diversity This company is big on diversity quotas. While I have absolutely nothing against having a diverse workplace, this is not equal opportunity, it’s equal outcome. People who know this can take advantage, leading to “untouchable” coworkers who can behave unproductively and unprofessionally with little to no recourse. Their race, gender, and/or sexual orientation can become a weapon. Training A lot of learn as you go, figure it out for yourself type deals. Lacking in standard procedures. Execution I heard the phrase “that’s Cummins” many, many times in my time at the company. And from people all the way up and down the chain of command. If an initiative is delayed 8 months for no apparent reason - that’s Cummins. If a high-profile project is poorly implemented - that’s Cummins. If people are generally behaving apathetic toward their jobs - that’s Cummins. Effective management and effective implementation of initiatives drops off drastically the further you get from corporate HQ and their core business of designing engines.

Incompetent leadership at corporate and regional level. Cummins acquired its own dealers and is simply unable to navigate the politics and disruption of this integration. Legacy Cummins Inc. leaders do not have the education, experience, IQ, temperament to lead this change. They are unable to identify, hire and retain outside talent. Ideal case of mediocrity attracting mediocrity and driving better talent away. Horrible place to work. You learn nothing here. The people will not let you showcase what you know and help turn it around. Adios!
