Pros

Good salary and bonuses Extensive training at the beginning

Cons

Toxic japanese work culture - super hierarchical, overtime is a standard (kind of expected from you), constant micromanagement, you are never good enough for the managers, a lot of stress, Huge open space office with a depressing 90s design, The work system is so toxic that everybody is trying to find a workaround - faking data, being friends with the right people etc. Very bad relations between departments, constant negative commenting and blaming Requires a lot of non-sense travelling - normalizes having 50+ flights a year for 1-3 days business trips.

Pros

Product Training is well done

Cons

In my 20+ year career in sales, Keyence is the worst company I have ever worked for. Run by Japanese managers, there is a high level of disrespect for American employees. Average tenure is less than 2 years, it's commonly known as "Keyence University" as they will train you on the products so you can go somewhere else with better knowledge
