Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Cummins to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Cummins
Cummins has many branches and teams that specialise in a wide range of things across the country, it's worth taking into account if you are more interested in engines, then work for Cummins, and if you are interested in batteries etc., then working for Accelera by Cummins. The application process is exactly the same but the placements vary widely.
