Great place to work in a growing industry

Pros

Keyence has been a great place to work since I have started a few years ago. There has definitely been a noticeable difference in the company culture shift from a couple of years ago, including new updated offices, providing tools we need to do our job better from the road, holiday parties/holiday gift card bonus, and more relaxed office culture while still maintaining a professional environment.. The pay is fantastic, and one can easily make over 100k within 2 years depending on the office location and your sales performance. Work life balance has also been improved.

Cons

Keyence has been on an aggressive hiring spree these past two years. Although we are continuously growing year after year, territories are shrinking dramatically, and it can certainly limit how many sales calls you can go on (expected to go on same amount with half the companies once your territory is split with a new salesperson hired). It also does not help that there are probably 8 different people covering the same area in various divisions all calling the same customer at the same time, which can get a bit annoying (for the sales people and the customer).

Great sales job

Pros

A fair well balanced sales job. They truly care about they employees; one of the few I've seen and fewer that I've worked for. I have seen some negative posts. I'm a little surprised by this. Keyence spends a lot of time finding the right person for the job and more time training them. Training does not stop after the weeks at HQ, managers continue to work with you after making sure your are comfortable with the job and expectations.

Cons

The sales database needs a bit of updating. It's nothing significant and something that is being addressed.
