      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      Sep 30, 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Houghton, MI
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Cummins (Houghton, MI) in Sep 2017

      Interview

      It was a campus interview at the career fair. I interviewed for 2 consecutive years with cummins and I got the same treatment both the times. The standard practice at Cummins is that while one company representative questions a candidate, another company representative will record the answers in a laptop and pass it on to the HR department. Even though I felt I did great in both my interviews in 2016 and 2017 with so many experiences to share from my 3 years of prior work experience, I have still not received any reply from cummins HR department after over 13 months since the first interview and 1 months since the second interview. It is crazy how the HR people don't get back to you with a YES, NO or even a PLEASE WAIT. I just feel disrespected and neglected by this behavior of theirs.
