Pros

Great pay and flexibility. Lots of perks. Everyone in the industry trusts the Keyence brand.

Cons

A lot of travel. There is so much internal work proving that you are doing your job, that it hinders you from doing the job. So many metrics that even the managers have a tough time keeping up and change strategies mid way through the quarter.
