Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Cummins to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Excellent corporate experience always pushing you to progress.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Cummins?
Of course do your research on the company to understand the Cummins ethos. I'd also recommend demonstrating extra-curricular activities in addition to your studies where you have demonstrated an interest in the given field, i.e. hands on engine building for an assembly based role. Finally, be sure to demonstrate your personability. BE yourself.
