Pros

BRAND name in your CV... Outside india company operations are good.. They have good training structure. You get to learn new things

Cons

I dont know from where to start : 1) Salary paid to Keyence India employees is very very very less , compared to the amount of work and the company global standards . 2) you have to work for more than 12 hours a day for the company almost everyday without any over time. 3) no food allowance for their engineers even if they are out for entire day for company work. 4) They treat you like they are your master and you are slaves. 5) humiliation is to the core, if you cant take it this is not the place for you. 6) for your small blunders the top japenese manager is always there to cut your salary. 7) Incentives is not even 1 percent of your take home salary. 8) appraisal is more of humiliation than appreciation.

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.

Pros

Fast paced work environment. CRM is the best I have ever had access to. Data tracking and sales insight is top notch. The regional director for TSS in Michigan/Indiana is great to work under. Leads are easily available, the product is great and it’s easy to get in the door places.

Cons

Metrics are more focused on quantity over quality. Frequently working 50+ hour weeks. Too many reps per territory and it can create a negative perception. Bonus structure vs straight commission is frusterating. Clear advancement structure however being ranked against peers with different sales targets in frusterating. Feels like a turn and burn type of mentality towards sales reps.
