Interviewers ask questions like these because they are difficult to answer and they want to see how well you perform under pressure. Likewise, your interviewer wants to know if you have the soft skills to provide authentic feedback in a business-appropriate manner.

"I have conducted a great deal of research on Lockheed Martin before meeting you today. I like your branding, and your online presence is strong. If I could make a suggestion, it would be to have a confirmation email sent to all online job applicants. I found the site a bit difficult to navigate and was not sure that my initial application went through successfully. Luckily, your HR department was amazing, and they called me just a few days later for a pre-screen interview."

"I thoroughly researched Lockheed Martin before applying. I am happy to say that Lockheed's reputation is stellar within the client community and with current and former employees.
The only thing that comes to mind is that I read a report in which employees felt like they understood the goals of the company, but were unclear on specific department KPIs. It is hard to know how valid that feedback is, but it is something I feel I will pay attention to as a manager if hired. I like to ensure that everyone on my team knows exactly what we're aiming for and how it relates to larger goals at all times. Given the clarity of the goals of Lockheed Martin, I feel this will be easy to attain if hired."

Finding and developing talent within the workforce. Although there are processes in place, I feel there could be greater effort focused on that aspect.
