I was at Keyence for roughly 7 years, only missed a promotion once, earned a number of awards, and operated as a Sales Manager for roughly 2 years. That is rather rare. Most people only last 2 years. If you can harden yourself to a high volume of activity, micromanaged metrics and made-up strategies (they alternate between Quantity and Quality ever other half), you will be successful here. As a Sales Manager you can hit your goals but find your pay decreasing because of a system they call MPRP. No one knows what it means or how it works but I left because I was achieving my goals but being paid less. That said, the products are amazing and they are an industry leader in technology. Your Manager, territory you operate in, and division, will determine how long you work here. Be ready to be another number on a spreadsheet.

I generally really enjoyed working there. The work life balance was difficult to sustain for an extended time especially as a woman thinking about a family. Cool products, good leaders, working to improve culture.

Great place to start out in sales. They only hire entry level and promote from within. Unparalleled career development and great money for this point in your career. It is rare that a company will launch someone so new in front of the customer. You will get promoted if you are leading the team.
