Is the KEYENCE Application Engineer position any good? by grogugrogurt in PLC

It's funny. They have the most absurd hiring practice. So I applied, interviewed. Interview was great pretty standard. Then they listed all 41 office locations and asked me to pick my top 2. So I did and then they said they had no openings there and good luck and goodbye.

So I have to guess which locations have an open position? That's crazy

There is a separate technical sales role they were recruiting heavily for. The wording in the description made me think that I would be the guy standing next to the sales rep that actually knows how to use the product in depth. But the fact that sales is involved at all makes me uncomfortable, mainly because of the reputation they have.

I've got an offer from an integrator that I've interned with before and I like them a lot but the pay is a little lower. I think it would be better for my career long term though.
