      Pros

      1) Get to learn a lot of new industries and processes 2) Lots of opportunities to learn about your products and up-skill your expertise in them. 3) It is not just another boring 9-5 boring desk-job. You get to visit several different industries and travel a lot. 4) You get to meet and interact with a diverse variety of people. 5) Stay in beautiful hotels with all your expenses covered when you fly out of your city for official visits. 6) Get respected by everyone alike - Keyence employees are like family members. 7) Lastly, earn lots of money, plenty of room for incentives and bonuses, all your official expenses are covered.

      Cons

      1) Be prepared to face and fulfill your targets in order to see growth. 2) Several incoming enquiries - handle them all by yourself within your territories. 3) Sometimes, you may have to work for more than 12 hours a day when it is required. 4) Be prepared to sacrifice your personal and social life if you want to grow. 5) Be answerable to every little move you make.

      Pros

      When I started at Keyence, I was only 21 and a fresh graduate from university. However with very good support and patience from my senior management I have been able to grow into a successful sales person. Progression is fast here and the pay is great. I was even able to buy a house by myself within 11 months of starting! There's a great atmosphere in the office I work in and with the continuing addition of new team members the sales territories are becoming much smaller - which equates to much less time spent travelling!

      Cons

      Since Keyence has industry leading technical products, it is impossibly difficult not to sell our products! If anything, the targets should be higher which could lead to even higher bonuses! A wider choice of car for the higher value product divisions would be a nice touch as well.

      Pros

      Good money on the face of it

      Cons

      Absolutely horrific work life balance. The amount of hours you put in completely undermines the money you earn. Toxic environment there is absolutely no diversity. Travel to meetings at Stockley Park is mandatory and done on your time, regardless of which office you’re in. Think you can finish early to catch a flight home, think again. You must be in the office at 8:30am even if you’ve driven 5 hours from Newcastle/Scotland/Wales/Manchester/East coast/ flown in from Ireland. You must be visiting customers during working hours (8:30-5:15) and you drive home in your own time. Absolutely no leniency for personal circumstances. You must keep high KPIs regardless of holiday (over achieve on visits to make up for the annual leave you’re about to take which will pull your average down) The management structure is constantly crumbling in on itself, middle management leave and the gap never gets filled so it’s down to us to figure things out and fend for ourselves HR and management are unqualified to deal with anything outside daily business and offer no solid support past a bit of superficial empathy
