Keyence is a telemarketing company that sometimes does product demonstration and occasionally sells. - werkgeversreview Sales Engineer bij Keyence

Horrible managers, average salary when you start really looking around at other opportunities. Metrics are retarded and change every quarter. Sometimes they want you to be proactive, sometimes reactive, and in a split second everyone changes, it just goes to show how the stats at this company are like the TV show "Who's line is it anyway", where everything is made up and the points don't matter. No real chance of movement upward. By the time you think you can get somewhere, if your smart you will realize that your job is basically to be a product demo donkey. What's a group lead title when there's no one to lead? Like I said, stepping stone into sales. Long hours and no work from home. Expect to cold call on summer Friday at 430 PM to pitch a product someone doesn't need. Company philosophy: Make more phone calls, book more sales calls. That's all the advice you will get from your manager. Long days on the road, you will drive like a truck driver. Shotgun approach to call everyone push the product regardless if there's an application. Ultimately, this company is a stepping stone for other better paid job opportunities. Life span of an employee is under 3 years generally speaking. When you join ask why your predecessors left, and how many there have been in the past. If the number is high, you have a bad manager and get ready to face the same fate. Your success will depend on your product line and the accounts in your territory. If you'r in the MAG team, IM is the best product to sell.
