      Awesome company to start a sales engineering career. If successful, can earn lots of money and be rewarded with frequent promotions

      Pros

      Get to see how things are created/manufactured. Sell innovative electronics that are a cut above the competition to Fortune 1000 customers. Freedom to set your own schedule

      Cons

      Although it's changing, Japanese headquarters still has too much influence on US operations

      Truly a really good company that pays well and appreciates their employees in many ways

      Pros

      Great compensation plan (pay really high bonuses), an insurance plan that is hard to compete with (including the percentage Keyence pays for its employee and their families!), the many philosophies that are looked at when deciding to take/not take an action, the vitaility/stability the Company has sustained when other companies had layoffs, the way the company consistently challenges us to be better than the year before and ultimately the Direct Sales approach that other companies don't seem to be able to get right. The team spirit of all of my colleagues to be #1 in this industry!

      Cons

      Since we are an ethical company that doesn't believe in unfair competition, we tend to lose people to other companies that don't share the same ideals. My collegues don't seem to really understand the benefits of working here, the Keyence's philosophies and values I have seen throughout my years and "fall" to the recruiter's prey/tactics. I have heard plenty of rumors of people calling Keyence back because it wasn't all that was promised or they didn't have the support they once had here, but then it's too late. It's sad actually.

      Pros

      Good Product Great for a sales position right of out college Can easily get hired elsewhere with a couple years experience Pretty good money

      Cons

      Micromanagement Upper management just does not listen Company culture sucks and is very boring Depending on what boss you have it can either be cool or a living hell Will find yourself saying "we don't have that" alot The company has hardly any trust for its salespeople
