Cummins values every employee and it's community.Cummins work environment is always a great place to be. I love it here!

Finance Intern
June - August 2018 • Columbus, IN
What I liked
Great culture, meaningful work given to interns to prepare them for an actual job in the future, great internship program set up by the recruiters to get the interns involved and make connections with one another
What I wish was different
Some days the interns did not have much lined up to do from a work perspective if they were only involved in bigger projects, so more day to day activities would have kept them more busy
Advice
If you plan on considering Cummins as a long-term option for your employment do your best to make as many connections as possible. Any person you have a conversation with could be your next boss either as your first position after being hired or later on in your career.
