The interviewer will ask this question to understand your approach to work and determine if you will be a good fit with the company culture. Suppose you say that your philosophy is to work independently, keep your nose to the grindstone, and not form personal relationships with your coworkers. In that case, the interviewer will determine you are not a good fit for the company if they have a more laid-back, team approach and everyone treats each other like family.

Be honest in your response, but focus on showing the interviewer you would be an asset to their team. If you research the company and learn about its mission statement and company culture, you will be more prepared to formulate your response.
