Pros

Great pay, great coworkers, lost of freedom when on the road. You get out what you put in. Company is growing like crazy. Keyence really does have some of the best products in automation. Bosses and both mid and upper lever management really do care and want this to be a place where you are happy. They want to nurture a positive environment. Crazy good job and pay for both coming out of college as well as veteran experience. Selling a product that people contact your for and is better than a lot of the competition makes sales much more fun. Promotions can come fast. Generous base salaries and bonuses. No feast or famine here.

Cons

Sure there are lots of metrics but Keyence is a company with constant grown even during times of a recession like 2007-2008.

Pros

Keyence is always developing their product to be current or ahead of demand and trends. As the company grows the territories shrink which makes for a healthy work/life balance. Customers are in every industry imaginable which keeps the job from being too routine. The benefits package that is offered cannot be beat and is very valuable when considering offers.

Cons

There are a few small pieces to the company guidelines that are dated such as only having a single monitor at each desk. This is meant to create equality and uniformity throughout the workforce, but it certainly hinders productivity.
