      Sales Engineer Interview

      22 Mar 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Richmond, VA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Keyence (Richmond, VA) in Feb 2013

      Interview

      Applied via LinkedIn. Received an email from a recruiter with a link to take a technical assessment. Passed it, and had a phone interview with a different recruiter later that week. Was passed on to a webcam interview a few days later. Afterwards, I had to take a personality assessment online. Didn't hear back for a week, so I called to follow up and was informed that they were still planning on moving me to the next phase. Two days later, I was called and invited to go to Chicago to interview with the National Sales director and the Regional Sales director for the territory I'd be working in. The interview consisted of me giving a product demo, and a sales roleplay where I had to sell them a pen. The sales roleplay is where I blew it. I got bullied around on price, and ended up closing the deal for too little money. Also, I should have used the pen as an opportunity to try and sell them other office supplies. Seems like a great company to work for. They definitely know what they're looking for in their sales force, and they're willing to keep looking until they find it.

      Question 1

      Why should I buy your pens if they cost twice as much as I pay now?

      Difficult interview

      Application

      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.

      Average interview

      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.
