As much as you'll see this interviewer as your chance to impress your interviewer and land your dream job at Bayer, it's important to understand that a job search isn't just a one-sided hunt for yourself. The interviewer needs to be assured that the candidate they hire sees the job and Bayer as a good long-term fit, and they pose this question to hear you discuss the ideal qualities and traits you would find in an ideal employer.

Tell the interviewer your ideal employer, and remember that they're looking for you to cite some specific qualities about Bayer. Be specific and keep the conversation positive. Avoid speaking poorly of previous managers or organizations to show that you can thrive in any situation.
