Pros

1) Early career opportunity for resume. 2) Small town environment if at headquarters in Columbus 3) Significant growth if you have a Masters in BS

Cons

1) "Doing the right thing" is promoted...but in reality this is all show for new employees. 2) Those wishing to transition to middle management will find no development to place into a new role by the company. You are on your own even with historical high performing and high potential "ratings" to get a role whereas in the past the company would ensure it's upcoming talent to middle management was placed into key areas. 3) "Diversity" is promoted which is indeed important, but the company abuses it to drive work to lower pay & salaries while actively choosing certain candidates to reach a %demographic rather than choose the best employee. At the same time, age/career experience is utilized almost to a discriminatory level still rather than the capabilities of some employees. Company needs to learn that high performers are above "typical" levels. 4) "Restructuring" has attempted to solve some inefficiencies but in reality it has just attempted to move responsibilities to lower pay grades in the company that are not capable. Cummins no longer values an "expert" that will keep Cummins reliability at the forefront while still innovating. Rather, they will place an army of new hires that make the same mistakes the company has made for years and wonder why there are so many fires. Your processes are not air-tight that anyone can do anything. Wake up and value those that actually make a difference and influence key decisions because they have passion. 5) Layoffs - Leadership has constantly miscalculated and reacts to the market leading to layoffs. Great talent is walked out for being in the wrong spot at the wrong time rather than looking to the bigger picture. Enter new employees upon recovery for cheaper and ambitious support...unfortunately enter previously fixed mistakes and pissed of customers. 6) "Collaborative" Workspace - in other words you get a small locker and no assigned desk. Detrimental to developing consistent relationships and horrible if in the engineering environment.

Pros

very good infrastructure location ( IOC balewadi office ) people are very helpful and down to earth learning experience in job

Cons

Pay is very very less - less than half of what others in the industry pay poorly designed induction program the industry is on the decline and they might downsize anytime they claim to have a great culture, but I could not find anything great in it
