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.

Pros

- everyone is low key and honest - no games - always make changes for the betterment of their people. This is a place where if you have an issue, they do something about it; and a place where higher ups are taken to task about the sales team not getting paid enough. They want us to succeed - commission just went up a significant amount, a change that was just implemented this quarter - raised hotel and flight limits to better accommodate us - great team work -- profit sharing was a great idea - people are intelligent and treat you the same. Mutual respect and honestly - open door policy -- and they mean it - easy to motivate yourself - great for number oriented people - challenges your mind in exciting ways - 3 entirely different career paths - work with amazing customers -- like NASA

Cons

- they work you hard, and you will put in some OT, but I love it, so that doesn't matter to me. For others, it does. - none so far. They have completely reasonable expectations and are encouraging and fun to work with
