An OK Place to Work

Pros

1. Mobility in the company. You can look for a new job within Cummins after 18 months and your manager can't stop you. 2. People are nice. They are willing to talk with you about their jobs and opportunities. 3. Diversity is highly supported. A lot of affinity groups. 4. Great performance and future outlook. It will double its size by 2014.

Cons

1. Slow pace. Meetings tend to be long. I'm not used to set up many one-hour meetings. I guess it's because it's a company in mid west down. 2. People do not network as much as people in some other companies. 3. Headquartered in Columbus IN. Really bad location. But a good place to raise family.

Pros

-lots of opportunities to transition to new role within 18-24 months -team based work approach -exposure to many functions (engineering, IT, finance, logisitics) -can stay in Columbus to move around the company, but opportunities to relocate also -company is growing, so lots of opportunities in the future -easy access to management - mgmt welcomes opportunities to discuss career interests and -goals with even the most junior-level staff -very diverse workplace

Cons

-work / life balance is a challenge - many groups inadequately staffed -focus on six sigma is not clear - especially for some functions (IT, finance) -rewards for good performance are extremely inconsistent -company has lots of people who have never worked anywhere else - while this is a very positive sign, need more benchmarking for best practices - company had not made adequate investments in IT systems, etc., which will limit growth over the coming 20 years + -advancement in compensation is not competitive, when comparing to people who join the company after a few years of experience
