I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cummins in Oct 2014
Interview
THe hiring process started at the on campus job fair. I was then contacted via email. My interview went pretty fast as I was told that I jumped straight from a conversation with recruiters to an interview with senior HR personnel. Interviewing with senior personnel was a learning process in itself. However, they were so relaxed which made the interviewing environment relaxed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
THere were no difficult or unexpected questions. My advice is to review the usual and unusual behavior type questions. And be prepared to explain how your past experience (research included) will contribute to the position you are interviewing for. For example, if you discuss you recent thesis project explain your research process in terms that relate to the position interviewing for. Correlate your graduate assistantship experiences or any other experiences to the position interviewing for. This is key to promoting further interest by Cummins.
I was called five times for the interview and made 1 to 2 hours every time they called me. Which was really frustrating . At certain point of time I wanted to give up
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cummins (Lagos) in Mar 2021
Interview
It was interactive. The interviewers were very clear in their questions. Before the interview was scheduled, one of their team members called me to confirm when would be convenient for me, I was allowed to be flexible with the timing.
I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cummins (Indianapolis, IN) in Sept 2019
Interview
On-campus interviews - any HR student could attend. Behavioral-based interview w/ two interviewers. Never heard back from them after, even though they said we would hear either way. Very unorganized and unprofessional.
How do you handle being a higher level employee than people older than you? And how do you get their respect? (Not those exact words, but basically what they asked)
