      Pros

      Ability to explore other career opportunities within the company mostly if you know senior folks that like you

      Cons

      -Cummins really don't have any career culture for young engineers, your growth depends on who you know not how hard you perform. -The older white males still have a small town mentality(if you're a colored person, you definitely know what i mean) -Minorities and foreign employees get kick out first despite performance... Just so you know, these happens every 2yrs. -Columbus is still 10yrs behind civilization despite the diverse population -Over all, you should never work for cummins for more than two-five yrs unless you're WHITE with a small town mentality.

      Great Place for the "Good Ole Boys" to work

      Pros

      International travel allowed for development of management skills with non-english speakers. If you are local to Columbus and you have contact with upper management then you have a job for life.

      Cons

      The company works similar to herding cattle, they bring you in from out of town and work you to death until you no longer provide a benefit to them and then you are out the door.

      Too many MBAs

      Senior engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Good place to learn engines because it is a small company. 2. Some very good engineers/technical people 3. Successful Company

      Cons

      1. Forced ranking : Its hard to believe someone can have such a system in this day and age 2. 80% of employees are doing non-productive 'work', i.e., meeting and talking 3. Massive bureaucracy + Six Sigma Brigade + Glut of project managers: in all a sea of mediocrity 4. For each employee who does actual work, there are three employees watching him/her.
