Pros

I would say it is nothing considered as pros, since at Vietnam the salary that keyence paid is not that high compare to the other branch on over the world, it's like we just be able to make around $10k/year, so that is totally not that high compare to the market. 3. No culture, it like Game of Throne in there, don't go in

Cons

A lot of cons that I have to say. 1. The dangerous, even though the traffic condition in Vietnam is hell of the chaos rubbish, we still have to go "Sales Call" 3 times/ week, in which we have to travel a really long distance that can take up to about 400km travel per day. And the worst thing is that we have to go in the morning, at about 6-7am and get back to the office at 6pm in order to attend the mundane meeting with your bosses! (which are the very stoic Japanese people that you think you could just only see them on the movie). So how could we do all of that, well, overtime, overtime a lot so that we can catch up with this. 2. No work life balance, as I mentioned above, nothing that can consider Work life balance in this office. Not working overtime, you considered an improper worker. Not making enough 60 calls/day? You will not be offered another contract next year.

Pros

Awesome and innovative technology where you get to handle it and use it to solve practical problems and make businesses operate better. Managers directly above you really care about your success and improvement. Benefits are great, pay is pretty good.

Cons

Travel is extensive, being in hotels is the norm for some territories. Some offices/divisions territory is split up in ways which don't make sense. Upper Management/Keyence Corporate cares too much about short term sales metrics and constantly increasing goals no matter what the circumstance.
