Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
The interview was slow going. However after they got to know me there were a lot of questions. The recruiters were extremely interested in my work and said that Cummins has a long history of hiring people with my backgrounds. However after they decided they want to hire me they offered a low ammount.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Applied through university career center website. Got a 1st round phone interview call. The first round interview was straight forward. The interviewer asked "standard" cummins questions (There is definitely a trend in questions asked by cummins, my questions were very similar to other folks who got the interview). It mainly included behavioral questions.
Got a call for second interview which is today. It is with a manager. I will post the details later today.

Got initial interview from university career fair. First, Interviewed with 3 representatives and it consisted of a behavioral interview. They asked questions like what are your strengths and weaknesses, describe a time when you failed to meet a deadline, had a conflict, etc. Also aske what most innovative idea was. One week later got a call to do a phone interview. This consisted of more in depth questions about your past experience, why you want to work here, what are you most interested in and other similar questions.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 6 days)
It took 45 min for the interview, she said her manager was going to call me in a few days for a follow up, but never did. HR should not say they are going to call when they don't, she said I was perfect for the position and really pleased her.
