      The positive reviews are lies. Senior staff have been asked to write them!

      Pros

      - Starting salary - Training is well regarded within the industry - Develops good work ethic due to their unrealistic expectations of work

      Cons

      Where do I start?! - Awful bonus scheme and complicated to calculate. - Attempted "brainwashing" by management - Micromanagement + 100s of KPIs. No matter how well someone is doing they always find something to be negative about. - Extremely long hours with commuting time (up to 3 hours) expected to be done in own time before 8.30-5.30 day visiting customers - Monday and Friday is similar to being in a call center - Promises of progression and promotions that are meaningless to try and keep staff engaged - Low pay rises so salary soon falls below market rate - Rarely praise but management jump at the chance to shame publicly - Unrealistic targets and expectations - No work/life balance - Office culture is poor. Most people feel the same as this review and it is discussed regularly leaving a negative atmosphere - Staff turnover is high. Small % of staff have been here longer than 2 years as people leave due to growing fed-up with Keyence - Keyence know their reputation and culture is so bad that they have asked senior employees to write positive reviews and then chased the individuals that hadn't done so
