Controls Engineer at Cummins
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Anaheim, CA (US) – Reviewed Jun 10, 2013 New
Interview Details The interview process was very simple. Not very technical. The recruiter wants to see if you fit the company culture. The questions are more behavior based. They spend more time explaining the culture of the company and what kind of projects you will work on there including the overall outcome of the internship with them.
Interview Question – What are some of your weaknesses? Steps you take to overcome them. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – They dont negotiate salary for interns. The salary is based on level schooling and availability of positions in hr.

Interview Details
On campus interview by two very nice Indian engineers
They follow a standard questions sheet which is identical for every interview on that day. Basically they repeat some similar behavior questions three times, such as how you deal with controversial problem or conflict with co-workers. So prepare some different materials for same problem if you can.
The two engineers replied my thank you letter but I didn't hear back from them regarding next step. SInce I only has the contact info from engineers, that won't help much if I cant get in touch with HR.
Interview Question –
Describe a time when you FAILED to meet the deadline.
How you deal with a sensitive topic in a public meeting

Interview Details I was interviewed by a 3rd party company in Jan '11. It was behavioral. Then I did not hear anything from them until August. I had an technical interview with Hiring manager on 25th Aug '11. I did not hear back from them since then. I emailed and called the HR but there was no response. Worst recruiting process I have ever seen.

Interview Details Initially, I had an in-person interview with basic HR questions. Two people were present, but only 1 answered questions while the other kept a record of my answers. About a week later, I had a Panel Interview, a little bit more technical in nature. Overall it was a great interviewing process.
