What's your ideal company to work for?
When explaining your perfect company, you can include your goals for advancement, environment, size of company, and variety of opportunities. The hiring manager is seeking information about fit. He or she wants to know whether the company can satisfy your professional goals. Try to make the connection between what you are seeking and what the company can offer.
"My ideal company to work for is a medium-sized company that offers a strong growth plan for dedicated employees. The professional develop programs you offer employees is one of the main reasons I've applied. I would like to grow my career in a company, and the opportunities for growth you offer are ideal. I'd also like to work for an organization that values its community and gives back. I read about your community activities and that's the kind of thing that really excites me."

Good response! You highlight two factors that are important to you in an employer, but I would suggest clarifying your first point, as there are many ways an employer can "put its employees first". For example, are you seeking a company that invests in professional development? Or does your ideal company put this into practice by soliciting employee feedback regularly?
