      Pros

      Keyence is a classic meritocracy. You get back what you put in.

      Cons

      Consistent with anything you'd encounter with any sales job. You'll work hard if you're doing it right, and you won't get a ton of "atta boy's" from your manager, but you get paid an above average income. As long as you have the emotional capacity to leave your work at work and not take it home with you, the opportunities at Keyence are very solid that anybody should strive to be a part of. Alpha personalities do well. Beta personalities seem to get bitter, resentful, and whine about it on glassdoor.com.
