I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Keyence (Troy, MI) in Oct 2016
Interview
Applied online. Then I did a quick phone interview. Shortly after that I was sent a mechanical aptitude test which I took and passed. The next step was a face to face interview which involved a 5 min. sales presentation and up selling a pen. The day after the interview I heard back no.
Very odd, one hirevue and then they fly you out to chicago. The chicago process is smooth. One interview and roll play. Great time to practice skills and continue to get better.

Interview
The interview process starts with an informational session. After that, you complete a digital interview assessment, and only those who pass move on to a traditional Zoom interview. There are definitely a lot of stages you have to pass to get to the final round.

Question 1
They may conduct a mock sales conversation where you will have to sell them something. Or they may ask you what you think will be the hardest part of the job.
Good practice for the job, multiple stages involving phone screening with HR, meeting with director, then mock presentation and interview with manager. Make sure to practice discovery questions for the mock presentations to help you understand client needs.
