Pros

Was my second job out of college. The pay was better then my first job.

Cons

Japanese work environment. If your manager is not Japanese then he is not your real manager with no real power in the organization. They micro manage everything and expect you to hit many intangible goals besides your numbers. If you hit all your goals its like an 80hr work week. Overall bad experience….job was way more stressful then at other companies that not only pay better but have much better culture and balance and even that’s not saying much but Keyence is that awful.

Pros

It’s a job for you

Cons

This is the type of job that will make you miserable over time. Terrible work life balance. Constantly annoying people with phone calls. Pay isn’t as competitive as they want you to believe. Strongly suggest going through training and immediately looking for another job for more pay.
