      Pros

      Keyence is a money machine. Great products. Strong management depending on the product line. Extensive training. Keyence sales people and managers are better than 90% of other sales people and managers from other top companies. Medium risk medium reward sales, commission and salary are clearly capped when you reach the top, but you will never be fired for under performing.

      Cons

      Japanese not an American company. Micromanagement like crazy. Japanese at the top dont understand American business and culture. Work life balance is not good by any stretch. If youre not in at 730 am on the dot you are ostracized (what if there was a traffic jam). If you are not in the management team you are a number. Underpaid compared to hours worked and sales output.
