I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Keyence (Tijuana, Baja California) in Dec 2015
Interview
I was contacted by the HR department. I first made an interview via Hirevue, recording my answers and sending them through the app. The next day I received an email telling me that I was in the next round, and the next step was a live interview with my would be boss as well as the HR representative through Hirevue Live. The interview went pretty well, there was much insistence by the boss in me knowing what the job was and what it would involve to work with them, such as traveling 3 days a week, making plans and scheduling meetings with potential clients the other remaining days, etc. After the interview the HR person told me that they would be sending me a pair of tests. The first one was a personality test. It was long and tedious, but easy. The other one was the Bennet Mechanical Comprehension Test, which has basic questions related to basic mechanics. The day after I sent the tests I was told that I got the job, and sent me the job offer.

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 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.
