Pros

Excellent technical learning opportunities. Great first "real job" for someone right out of college. Starting salary is strong for a young person. You will learn skills that will help you succeed for the rest of your career.

Cons

Keyence will consume your entire life. 60 hours a week is the minimum. You'll average 40k-50k miles per year on your car (don't worry they pay for your car). If you get in @ 7:30AM you're late. If you leave at 5:00 people will give you dirty looks. Every day. You'll post HUGE growth numbers that would blow any other company away and make your their rock star, and then get crap over not going to enough "new customers" or "target customers." This place will give micromanagement a new name.

Great training program, and good mix of roles. You wear a lot of hats at this job which prepares you well for your career. Business and technically focused, and a real product expert type of role.

Its a tough job and a lot of work and long hours. You need to deal with customers constantly through a lot of virtual support.
