I applied through university. I interviewed at Keyence in Feb 2023
Interview
2 step initial interview process: 1) Conference call with two company representatives and about 12 other applicants from around the country on the Microsoft Teams platform 2) A demeaning anonymous video interview in which one answers questions from video. No live recruiter present. I was invited by their recruiter to apply thru Handshake, the University's job board. I am graduating with a bachelors degree and a high GPA in 8 weeks, In short, this company appears to be a 'first job after college' grinder. They appear to be biased to picking 20 somethings who won't object to spending 40 hours per week prospecting. The marketing model does not include any recurring revenue from clients you've sold previously, a rather uncomfortable fact, so you'll spend each week calling on new buyers in industrial settings.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most questions were fairly typical; behavioral questions such as what is your greatest strength, weakness, etc. You will be expected to 'sell' (pitch) a technical product of your choosing on camera. You'll have up to 1-3 minutes to present. I knew about this in advance (thanks GD) and so had previously written and practiced my presentation.
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.

Question 1
How would the company benefit from having you be a part of the team?
Very broad and I did not feel like prepared me well at all for their interview process. The Hirevue interview was disconcerting and not a good way for me to feel confident in my interview response.

Question 1
"Sell a product for one of the positions you have worked"
I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Keyence (Houston, TX) in July 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.
