Why are you interested in a career with our organization?
The interviewer is looking for a bit of an ego boost here. They want you to say something positive and, hopefully authentic, about the company and your interest there. They need to hear that you have a genuine interest in a future with the company and a good understanding of what the company does!
Demonstrate that you have done your research on what the company does - and you SHOULD do your research on what the company does, its history, and its values. If they are the industry leader or renowned for a practice that you are passionate about, this is a great time to go into depth about that!
Avoid telling companies that you are attracted by their big name. They already know that it's great to have Johnson & Johnson or Pfizer on your resume. Tell them what interests you beyond that! If they are opening opportunities in a new venture or the nation's leader for a specific product, focus your answer on those aspects of the company instead.
"Of course, I've been following Pfizer's unprecedented progress on the Covid vaccine over the last two years with the rest of the world. I'd be honored to join the larger team that helps change the world for the better. That said, I'm most interested in joining the smaller teams that are working on your diabetes business. Diabetes runs in my family so I have an intimate familiarity and am really passionate about helping patients receive better care."

MedInc has been voted as one of the best places to work, as it focuses on core values and has a team culture that focuses on a mission statement of "helping surgeons treat their patients better." I will do everything it takes to be a part of this organization and be a resource to the surgeons.
