Cummins

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Indianapolis, IN

No Offer
Negative Experience
Easy Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cummins (Indianapolis, IN)

Interview

Spoke with the recruiter who was very nice and thought I would be a great fit for the job. They scheduled an interview for me to speak with the hiring manager. However, it seems there was a miscommunication between the hiring manager and the recruiter, as they were looking for someone with more of a website developer/manager (executional) background and not content/digital marketing (creative).

I interviewed at Cummins (Lagos)

Interview

The interview came around 6 weeks after the initial application. We started off with the typical questions you get at interviews. "Tell us about yourself" "Why do you want to join us?" Etc. Then they went into the technical questions to test my knowledge of engines in general and in Cummins products specifically.

Cummins

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Los Angeles, CA

Negative Experience
Easy Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Cummins (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2023

Interview

The interview process took 4 months from the time I applied to the job to being informed they’ve selected another candidate. There was little to no communication during the process. There would be weeks in between any communication then they would expect me to drop everything to attend an interview. The questions in the interview were generic and felt like they were read off a script. Even after all of this, the feedback I received during the interviews were positive. Even being called the “ideal candidate”. The only reason I even found out I wasn’t selected was because I reached out to them after a month of silence.

Interview Questions
  • Tell us a time you dealt with a difficult customer and what was the outcome? What’s your strengths? What’s your weaknesses? Literally any generic, uninspired and scripted questions you can think of. They asked.

I interviewed at Cummins (Darlington, North East England, England)

Interview

Assessment followed by a Presentation, then online interview, followed by face to face round. Completed all except the face to face round for a role in Darlington, they then rang up and offered me an interview in Daventry and asked if I would relocate. I have 2 children and own a house, so explained that I applied for Darlington as available. They told me there were no jobs in Darlington so wasted 2 weeks of pre assessment.
