Cons
You are a corporate drone. You will be treated with the same respect if it's your first day or 10th year. You will always be scrutinized. You can always work harder. Keyence's number one core value: the company comes first, always; ensure its lasting survival at whatever cost. You have a baby? Prepare to work more hours. You will have no life. You think you have a life, but you've been brain washed. You will sell the same 40 products your entire time at Keyence, unless you switch divisions. You will go on 6 sales calls a day Tuesday through Thursday. You will be expected to take meticulous notes at every call. Every day. Enter data. Work. Repeat. bonuses are unpredictable and unfair. Constantly changing. You sell double? You don't make double. You hit goal, but sell products not included on the strategy list? Your bonus is meager. Impersonal. Cold. Calculated. You are a number, and you work for a machine. There is no human element. They will exploit you till you have no soul, you get sick and fat and stressed, or you burn out and quit.
