Keyence reviews

-You're a drone. Keyence doesn't care about you. -Activity goals are unrealistic -You will be measured on the smallest things that at the end of the day do no not matter- phone calls? Really? The Keyence formula DOES NOT work 100% of the time. If we're selling with other paths, why force us to do something that doesn't work for us -Pay is better than 2 years ago, but is still an industry low, especially for the capital side. -Commission is a joke. Since you're paid on effect your 3% commission suddenly becomes 1% of total sale. Example - you sell 100k- Keyence claims effect is only 30k. so you only make 3% of 30k, which equals 1% of total sale. Then they say their industry low base pay makes up for it. No sorry that's not true. -Promotions are very slow and are usually given to the wrong people. There also is no consistency in promotions. -Mileage is lopsided, capital equipment and laser markers have to drive SUVs or trucks and don't get compensated for it. -Burnout is apart of the job, expect to be in another job within 2-3years -Japanese Culture aka work yourself to death because it's an honor to work for Keyence. Sorry guys, there is no honor to work for Keyence like in Japan. No one is coming out of college praying they can work for Keyence -No work life balance. They could care less if you working yourself to death -Vacation is Mediocre

Overworked. Internal systems are not easy to work with. There are 5+ systems needed to complete my work everyday. Lack of support and willingness to adapt American working culture/environment from global headquarters in Japan. one of top directors causes unnecessary stress with micro-management style and lack of availability and response. Feel stuck in my current position due to retention
