Pros

The training offered by Keyence is unmatched in the industry. The typical in classroom training last from 2-6 months depending on the division. The pay is competitive to 80% of the industry. This is a growth company that didn't need to lay anyone off during the recession. Find me another company of this size that can say the same thing. Keyence has the best products in the industry. Customers like to refer to us as the Apple of the industry. This level of quality gives you instant credibility with your customers. You can be promoted rapidly.

Cons

If you are not going the management path your career can easily stagnate after 4-6 years. If you are in a smaller division it can be harder to move up compared to larger divisions.

Pros

Salary above average, training is given to all the staff. A very potential growing company

Cons

Bad work/life balance. Any decision have to wait for Japan HQ word to be finalized. Micro Management. Company culture is put above local or country culture. Unrealistic targets for sales.

Pros

The pay was not bad. Most people are friendly here. Good training. There are well designed principles and instructions and may help you to get on track soon at work.

Cons

Salespeople are the top priority in this company. If you are not a salesperson, be prepared that you will be treated as second class. And there's a strict rule about off work -- You can not off work more than 9 days (weekends and holidays included).
