I applied online. I interviewed at Keyence (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2021
Interview
Done remotely through Microsoft Teams. One hour long interview - 30 minutes of a role play sales pitch and 30 minutes of a background/personal/professional interview style. There were 3 employees from KEYENCE in the interview. One of them was in talent acquisition and kept leaving and rejoining the meeting which I thought was unprofessional and distracting.

Question 1
If you were in the bottom 50% of performers on your sales team after the first two quarters of you beginning your sales career with us, why would that be the case?(terrible question in my opinion)
The interview can be broken down into three parts. The first part of the interview explains all of the details the job entails and what the potential onboarding process is like, the second part is you asking any questions you have about the job, and the third part is normal interview questions.

I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Keyence (Houston, TX) in Jul 2023
Interview
The interview process was pretty informative and straightforward. First, the company hosted a webinar with a panelist describing the company and the position itself, as well as answering and all questions the potential candidates might have had. They sent a link attaching an assessment which is essentially a digital interview. You are asked 5 questions, and with a maximum of 3 minutes per question, you record yourself answering each question. After you've completed this step, the recruiting team informs you of the next steps.
