Your interviewer wants to know how familiar you are with their brand. Branding is the identity and personality of a company. It is also their culture, and they want to see how well you'll fit into their culture.

"I've researched Siemens online and found a common theme in the reviews, comments, and news articles surrounding the fairness you offer your employees. You have strong benefits programs and offer multiple growth opportunities in all departments. This seems like a positive place to work. Your competitors didn't stand out in that area."

You should not say, "Siemens is the best. They've been around for a long time. No one does it better. No one." Avoid vague oversimplifications. Focus on the brand and share your understanding of their culture and brand.

What Siemens does that I think helps them stand out from the rest is that their changes are preemptive. I see many large corporations that bring about change AFTER an issue arises. Siemens has, of course, learned from direct issues, but there have been changes that you implemented that were preemptive. There was a quote on the website that said, "only those who are able to change can control their future," and I believe that sentiment is what keeps this company going after 170 years.
