Pros

Awesome and innovative technology where you get to handle it and use it to solve practical problems and make businesses operate better. Managers directly above you really care about your success and improvement. Benefits are great, pay is pretty good.

Cons

Travel is extensive, being in hotels is the norm for some territories. Some offices/divisions territory is split up in ways which don't make sense. Upper Management/Keyence Corporate cares too much about short term sales metrics and constantly increasing goals no matter what the circumstance.

Pros

The product is amazing and their business model is really effective. They focus on customer service and train their sales people to be intelligent organize sharks. You are booking 15 appointments with customers per week and finding opportunities not only for your product division but for your coworkers's one. The money is decent and you are surrounded by very smart and talented people. You feel secure in a very stable and growing company where I think you could wait for your retirement if you want.

Cons

Me as a gay person, didn't feel comfortable within their culture. It feels like a macho club where outside of the work they talk about women, whorehouses and soccer. It didn't feel inclusive at all to minorities. When I got hired there were only three women out of 100+ sales representatives and two of them were hired when I was hired. Maybe it has to do with the fact that there are more male engineers than female but still, I was sad every day at work.

Pros

Great pay, great coworkers, lost of freedom when on the road. You get out what you put in. Company is growing like crazy. Keyence really does have some of the best products in automation. Bosses and both mid and upper lever management really do care and want this to be a place where you are happy. They want to nurture a positive environment. Crazy good job and pay for both coming out of college as well as veteran experience. Selling a product that people contact your for and is better than a lot of the competition makes sales much more fun. Promotions can come fast. Generous base salaries and bonuses. No feast or famine here.

Cons

Sure there are lots of metrics but Keyence is a company with constant grown even during times of a recession like 2007-2008.
