Pros

Teamwork is encouraged. Written policies made clear to workforce. Businesses throughout the world.

Cons

Whereas other companies make job reductions and employee layoffs as a very last resort, Cummins has layoffs more often every few years. Team-based projects are the norm, but there are also too many meetings during the workday. Some functions do not budget for development and training. Not a diverse manufacturer - relies heavily on Engineering and Emissions business. When those tank, the company as a whole tanks, and probably the reason for regular layoffs.

Pros

Work from home, flexibility, paternal leave policy, pension plan

Cons

Pay is low and has not kept up with inflation. Leadership is only DEI hires, and they do not seem to understand the actual work being done. They are making life miserable for employees by adding unnecessary KPI's and performance tracking to make a name for themselves within the senior leadership. No loyalty for employees, they will let you go in the blink of an eye if the business struggles.
