Demanding and Rewarding

Senior sales engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is fair, and in a good office, you find a good mix of culture, cooperation, and opportunity. I've never been turned down for a vacation, and I find motivation to work hard and get things done

Cons

If you don't like driving, don't take an outside sales job. Some territories are more demanding than others, but it comes to geography more than anything.

It’s a great company to learn from many other companies and industries because of the interaction.

Sales engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Growing fast as a sales engineer, learning multiple manufacturing processes and negotiation, it is well paid at the beginning or overall considering the market.

Cons

Regularly takes a long time to grow and upgrade to a new position, very Japanese sales systematic way of doing things very uptight, sometimes clashing its culture about how to pursue a sales versus affiliate’s country idiosyncrasy. First two years, in love with the company, after thar almost all shows some lack of motivation. Regularly between 2 to 4 years into the company people look for other jobs unless becoming managers which are only a few.
