Pros

Cutting edge technology that our competitors struggle to match. Training program is rigorous and detailed. You will stay late at the office during your initial training at corporate to ensure you understand the technical side of your product. Management is very supportive and direct. There is a quiet confidence at Keyence that gets your fired up and grateful to be working here. You can make a lot of money, and going to manufacturing companies to provide solutions to their pain points is very rewarding.

Cons

These aren’t necessarily cons. Process metrics can be tedious to achieve across the board, but that is based on the effort you put in to make it happen. My advice is to focus your effort on the most important metrics relative to the others. Lots of driving - this not necessarily a bad thing. Have food/ meals in your car, as sometimes you won’t be able to stop for lunch between meetings.
