I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cummins (Orlando, FL) in Oct 2014
Interview
Wonderful treatment by everyone I came in contact with through the entirety of the process. I met with a recruiter at the HEENAC conference. About two days later I received a phone call to set up a behavioral interview. Once I passed that stage they set up another phone interview (this time technical). Each interview took about 45 minutes. Average difficulty.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
General behavioral questions (i.e. strengths, weaknesses, a time you failed, what motivates you, etc)
They asked me simple technical questions to see how I managed them. (i.e. if you have two engines and one is running at full load all day and the other is ramping up and down but only working 4 hours a day which one will fail first?)
They just want to see your reasoning and thought process imo
interview with hiring manager on Mechanical engineering fundamentals, basic heat and mass transfer problems, easy interview as long as you know the fundamentals. HR round is also easy covering basic information - pay, location, etc.
