      Technical Sales Engineer Interview

      1 May 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Keyence in Apr 2014

      Interview

      Terrible company to interview with and highly ineffective. It first started when a recruiter contacted me saying my sales experience and engineering background would make me a good candidate for this job. After applying I took a mechanical aptitude test which consisted of 68 questions to be answered in 30 mins. I took that and scored a 90% and moved on to the next part. I then had a 15 minute interview to see if I really wanted to get into sales. I did very well with that part as I have a heavy background in sales and know what to expect. I was then sent the personality test and did well on that and moved on to the HireVue interview. One of the questions I don't think I did very well which regarded micro-managing. After researching more about this company, unless you are willing to work 60 hour weeks continuously, don't mind 100+ cold calls each day, don't mind driving 6+ hours a day, and having management breathing down your neck then don't apply. The interview process is a disaster and takes too long.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Keyence (Monterrey, Nuevo León)

      Interview

      Se divide en 4 pasos el proceso de postulación, en este momento tuve la primera fase, una inducción por parte de la empresa, el cual explicaban tanto la empresa como el puesto el cual se aplicó, así como una llamada de 5-10 minutos con una encargada de recursos humanos.

      It was difficult but if you study and know the product, you should do well. I ended up getting the job but it also depends on the location that you want to be in for the position.
