Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Cummins to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I think Cummins is a brilliant company to work for every worker has a voice and is listened to even though there are over a thousand employees every single person opinion gets taken into account no matter how small or big it is. you have got a lot of freedom when working as if you would like you could take 5 mins to grab a coffee or go to the toilet and not be timed or have to notify anyone
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Cummins?
I would recommend being yourself and confident as they do not discriminate or are predjuce towards anyone you are all treated equal and everyone has an even chance of being accepted into the company you just need to show them why you should be the candidate that they pick to fill the role
