Pros

They provide competitive pay and good benefits for full time roles.

Cons

If you are a POC they won’t hire you. Look at the company website and everyone that works there, it’s evident that they have a specific demographic they want to hire. If you’re a POC they’ll make it harder for you to land a job here.

Pros

Great pay out of college. Fun co-workers and top-notch technology. The training is spectacular.

Cons

Keyence is extremely metric based. Even if you’re excelling in most areas management will hold other metrics over your head. It makes you feel like you’re not doing a good job. This can also interfere with the actual selling aspect of the job. They want you to meet all these metrics when time could be allocated to SELLING the equipment. The job can be very difficult. If you are in a large territory expect to put a lot of miles on your car and work very long days (like 7:30 - 8 not even kidding). The job really depends on the territory you get and the manager that is above you. Some reps have great managers and awesome territories others have to deal with some of the most incompetent mangers in the workforce. Complete role of the dice.
