Pros

Cool products, learn manufacturing industry, make good pay out of college, earn mileage for driving. If your lucky, the next career you have will realize how hard you worked at Keyence. You will work with some great people! ( these people will never be directors because they force directors to work in-person in Itasca IL.)

Cons

Out of touch management. US affiliate is controlled by Keyence Japan. Remote working is treated like a reward, not a way of life. You will end up feeling like a number. There isn’t much care that goes into retaining employees. You will be forced to go to the office every day as you move up in management; if you want to be a national director, you need to live in IL.
