The interviewer wants to ensure you've done your research on the company and exhibit the drive and ambition they are looking for in a candidate who wants to work with them. They're not interested in working with someone who just wants a job. They want to hire someone who exhibits an ability to go above and beyond to compete for the opportunity to work with them.

"I'm very interested in working for a company where I feel like what I am doing matters. It seems as if Bank of America's program is just that kind of opportunity. A lot of people shape their career goals by chasing after a title and a role with a predictable high-dollar salary. Everyone is interested in a good paycheck, but that won't grant you happiness. I'm more so interested in performing rewarding work where I am making an impact. Whether that impact is great or small, only time will tell. But I am interested in working for BofA because of what I've learned about the company. But if you are interested in more, as in the history of the company from its first iteration in 1774 to its current form today, I am happy to divulge more."
