I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Keyence
Interview
It was long, but in the end it was well worth it. Several steps in order to get to the final interview stage. After being contacted by the recruiter, you take a series of tests and interviews till the final interview. A great learning experience, if nothing else.

I applied through college or 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.
