I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Keyence (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2017
Interview
I started the process by reaching out to a recruiter. After the initial screening from the recruiter, I applied and had a Mechanical quiz the following day. After completing the mechanical quiz, you will take an online interview. Next step is a personality quiz with some very difficult patterns with numbers and images. Upon completing all those tasks, I got a call the following day inviting me to Career Day in Chicago.
Keyence takes care of flight, hotel and transportation. It is an incredible opportunity to shine. The interview in Chicago is very intense and provides a full-day of product demos. Once there, you are evaluated based on your brainstorming ability, presentation skills, sales roleplay and it's ended with an interview with 2-4 managers.
Overall, the process took about 15 days from the start to the time I was offered a position. Keyence is very clear about expectations and will answer any question. Overall a challenging experience, but very worth it!
I applied through 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
Application
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.
