I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Keyence (Kuala Lumpur) in June 2020
Interview
Normally, the interview process will first starts off with a phone interview and next is the interview with the sales department and finally an interview with the director within the respective country. These interview sessions with Keyence actually equipped me with certain interview skills that are required in order to pass the interviews, hence, even if wasn't offered, I am more than grateful to have taken some kind of skills from the interviews to the next interview sessions.

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 think all people there all pass Round 1 tho
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.
