I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Keyence (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Very in-depth with mechanical aptitude and personality tests as well as phone screen, recorded video answers, and in-person interviews.
Interview process is key to weed out those who do not have a passion for consultative B2B technical sales and appear to be interested in reducing attrition through hiring the right people.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Keyence
Interview
My interview process consisted of two rounds. Was flown out to Chicago to role play one of their products. Thirty minutes of behavioral was pretty typical. The thirty minutes of technical role play was on the more difficult side - thought it went well but wasn't given an offer.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Keyence (Hanoi) in Apr 2026
Interview
In the initial round, i have quick interview with the HR staff, and a 30 minutues IQ test (the test was moderate level i think)
I think all people there all pass Round 1 tho
I applied online. I interviewed at Keyence (Hanoi) in Apr 2026
Interview
1st round. 5 minutes. Interviewed by one manager, face-to-face. Most questions are quite typical, such as your experience, your reasoning for the application, your general understanding of the role, and your strengths and weaknesses. There's one question, though, where you have to think on your feet, which can be tricky.
