Pros

Keyence is one of the top companies in its league. Best training, best product, and top pay.

Cons

The expectations are drawn from a Japanese culture. Work = life You are highly paid, but expected to work incredibly hard to hit high metrics in order to “meet expectations”. In a sales manager position you will work three jobs and at the end of a review cycle, you will either have you pay decrease or you worked 100 hours a week and get a small $3000 a year pay increase. Middle management here is expected to be the workhorse of the organization, You trade your job security for your life People are promoted into manager and director positions based on sales result but many of their are terrible managers and directors.
