Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company has a friendly and diverse culture where everyone is involved as a team. Cummins always encourage diversity and sustainability talks each month to ensure us as employees know events that are taking place. They also have a great initiative named "EEEC", whereby each employee dedicates some time to charities/ voluntary initiatives. There is a sense of helping the community from this.
