Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at Cummins?
I was hired by Cummins after a successful placement year and found them to be very supportive and looking to get the best out of their early career staff.
The work environment is great and I have been able to make a great network within my first year. the work that i have been involved in has been very full filling and I have been given real responsibility and ran my own projects.
