Pros

Good place to learn Pro-E software as design engineer

Cons

Rating and ranking does not make sense. They rank all 22-23 salary grade people against each other which include design engineers (so called Designer), development engineers, test engineer, application engineers etc. Lower 10% people donot get annual raise at all. No vision benefit. People who do 3D modeling 24 X 7, cummins call them designer (Design Engineer). If you want to learn how to use Pro-E, then start your career at Cummins as design engineer. Waste too much money on duplicate tasks. From Alpha to Beta design changes a lot. Design engineers have do drafting work to create preliminary graphics which I think is kind of waste of time and money. It can be done cheaply by using drafters. But cummins uses drafter only for final design prints.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to excel, and a ton of resources at your disposal to get the job done. There is always something that needs to be done or can be improved or requires documentation. With so many things always on the go, its hard to imagine a time when one could get bored with working for Cummins. The benefits at Cummins are another area that most companies would having difficulty beating. Cummins has standard 401K incentives, health and dental and very competative salaries. Additionally, Cummins has a yearly bonus of 0-16% of your salary depending on how the company fared in the last year.

Cons

There is a great deal of information to shift through when you first join Cummins. This is a result of many many years of technical reports, engineering standard works, and standard operating procedures that have accumulated over the years. In addition, Cummins has a plethora of acronyms that make common communication anything but for a beginner. Expect to be lost, confused, and frustrated for the first 6 to 9 months after hire. Don't expect too much help, your coworkers will try where they can, but they will likely be swamped with their own work to give you a thorough show of the ropes. Unfortunately, the only way to learn as a new hire is to get messy and make some mistakes of your own.

Pros

Good opportunities to explore various career paths for a given professional background, and to change disciplines with training & support. The ethics of the company are high. Compliance with EPA clean air rules is sought not as regulatory requirement, but as an actual obligation to the world. If you want your work to help the environment, this is a great place to do it.

Cons

The company core business as an independent engine manufacturer carries long term risk. The company must execute very well to succeed.
