This question is designed as a foundation for the rest of the interview. It will be important for you to research the company a bit before conducting the interview. The interviewer knows that an employee who takes the time for research is much more likely to be considering the position as a career and not a temporary stop-gap. Think about some of the things you learned about Goodyear and highlight some qualities that stood out to you.
