Best in industry vision systems. The company has a lot of opportunity to grow with manufacturing shifting to automation. Stiff competition in the market and not the most fun product to sell. A lot of your time will be spent driving to manufacturers and staying in small towns overnight.

Cognex as a company reveals unique new products - problem is obviously generating leads. Very few leads that are received are inbound which makes it an issue.
