Good experience to start out in tech sales due to the big company reputation, good products, and growing industry. The problem is that cognex charges a lot for their products compared to competitors who essentially offer the same exact thing but cheaper. Lots of internal politics, but if you can see past that, then go for it.

Product market fit outdated. Focus on new customers ruins the company. Bad leadership and bad salary in Europe compared to SaaS Tech-Sales Jobs.
