What do you know about Kimberly-Clark and our work environment?
In my time working alongside hiring managers during recruitment efforts, I've learned that interviewers want to know that each candidate has done their homework on the company and sees it as a great cultural fit for themselves. The team at Kimberly-Clark needs to be assured that you have read about their robust culture on their career site and hold the same values that they do to ensure you would be a long-term fit.
"I did some research before applying for this job, and I'm very attracted to the work environment that Kimberly-Clark touts. For example, I'm drawn to the fact that the company's values - to be authentic, accountable, innovative, and caring - have been woven throughout the fabric of the company. From what I can tell, everything you do - for customers and employees - stems from these four values. That sounds like an environment in which I can thrive."
"I know Kimberly-Clark has ranked among the top 10 World's Best Multinational Workplaces by the Great Places to Work Institute for the past three years. That tells me that your employees are happy in their roles - they feel challenged and as though their work matters. I love your People Philosophy, which clearly outlines what the company expects from current and potential employees and how the company supports them."
Kimberly-Clark has a well-defined company culture that you can read about on their careers page. From their fast-paced work environment to their competitive atmosphere with a strong customer focus, you can find some things to discuss that are near and dear to your heart. Perhaps you know a current or former Kimberly-Clark employee that has had great things to say, and if you do, this is a great chance to discuss why you were drawn to a future there.
"One of your process engineers spoke at a campus career fair last year, and I got the time to chat with him. He told me about the competitive atmosphere and the ways your company gives back to the community, and that spoke to me. From that moment on, I knew Kimberly-Clark would be one of the first places I'd submit my resume to after graduation."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Marcie's Feedback
It's great that you know several people who work at the company and like it there. Mentioning the atmosphere, pay, and benefits show that you've done your research and are sincerely interested in the company. What specifically about the atmosphere appeals to you, however? Adding more details will further strengthen your response. Also, be sure to emphasize how the company will benefit from hiring you and not just how you'll benefit from being hired. Nice job!
