Pros

The training offered by Keyence is unmatched in the industry. The typical in classroom training last from 2-6 months depending on the division. The pay is competitive to 80% of the industry. This is a growth company that didn't need to lay anyone off during the recession. Find me another company of this size that can say the same thing. Keyence has the best products in the industry. Customers like to refer to us as the Apple of the industry. This level of quality gives you instant credibility with your customers. You can be promoted rapidly.

Cons

If you are not going the management path your career can easily stagnate after 4-6 years. If you are in a smaller division it can be harder to move up compared to larger divisions.

Pros

Salary above average, training is given to all the staff. A very potential growing company

Cons

Bad work/life balance. Any decision have to wait for Japan HQ word to be finalized. Micro Management. Company culture is put above local or country culture. Unrealistic targets for sales.

Pros

if you are a genuine robot, please do work here.

Cons

not very clear on what they wanted from me. hired me with high expectations and great opportunities, turned out i had to do telemarketing 8hours a day. plus they have crazy targets, which were not met by managers (i empirically checked data in the intranet). awful.
