Pros

Keyence does hire great people, from the top down I have a deep respect for everyone I worked with. I also thoroughly enjoyed the Monday and Friday office days with my co-workers. Keyence has a strategy for success that seems unmatched in the industry, making sales here relatively easy at many accounts. Keyence formula is great products + rapid and aggressive direct marketing/sales.

Cons

Individual results may vary. Japanese work culture still dictates many day to day metrics with which you'll be ranked. Burnout isn't uncommon due to some of the rigid standards you're held to, including: phone calls made/minutes, sales calls per week/month, variable strategy emphasis (target customer contact etc).
