Pros
KEYENCE knows what it is, how to be efficient and how to be effective. I love that guiding principle and how everything is based off of that. Great company to start early in your career, as the growth potential is there.
I enjoy the management style as well, with guidelines given, but a lot of leeway on how you achieve those goals and KPIs. The open office set up assists with that, since I can just walk up and have a conversation with someone when I have a question or want to talk through an idea.
The work life balance is great, with the only downside to it being the commute since I live downtown, but that is a self-inflicted wound.
The Company works well with my military requirements, ensuring that I can achieve both the conditions of my employment here at KEYENCE as well as my Governmental responsibilities (4 days paid military leave), and has never given me push-back on taking to many days. This was especially true when my Annual Training took place in the middle of our busiest time of year (Career Fair Season) and my management didn't even bat an eye to approve my leave period.
Cons
Corporate policy can be a little "old fashioned" specifically with their clothing and tattoo policies.
