I applied through university. I interviewed at Cummins (Raleigh, NC) in Oct 2020
Interview
On Campus interview consisting of a virtual interview with a couple of representatives from the organization. It was a pretty casual interview with behavioral type questions which were quite challenging. Interviewers were quite casual in terms of asking the questions but did not provide much visual feedback which would've otherwise helped.
