      Sales Engineer Interview

      31 Aug 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Atlanta, GA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Keyence (Atlanta, GA) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      The interview process honestly took pretty long. They want the best and this isn't your average sales gig. I think I saw a posting on career builder and submitted my application. I received contact from a third party recruiter and he helped me through the entire interview process. I talked with the recruiter and then received some preliminary stuff from Keyence. They had me do a Bennett Test to see my critical thinking and analysis skills, pretty standard. I also had to do a personality test which was straight forward. After this part, I received an invitation to do an online interview. They have prerecorded questions and I used a webcam to record my answers. Honestly the questions they asked were basic first round interview questions (describe a situation when...what are you strengths...etc). After this they flew me to a corporate location where I met with one of the managers and we video interviewed with another manager at a different location. They both asked me some other questions about my experience and then I had to sell a pen to them. Basic needs analysis and what not. I also had to do a product demonstration. They give you the book to study weeks before and I did. I also created my own presentation booklet and I think that made me stand out. A couple weeks went by and kinda lost hope but I eventually heard back and they offered me the job.

      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.
