What do you know about our company?
The interviewer wants to hear that you have researched the company you are interviewing with and learned all you can. It is best to highlight what the company is known for, its mission statement, the customers they serve, how long they have been in business, and who the Commissioner, CEO, or Director is.
Focus on unique or obscure information about the company. Sharing something unique shows the interviewer that you performed extensive research on their company and are enthusiastic about interviewing for the position.
Avoid being unprepared to answer this question. Before any job interview, you must do your homework and find out all you can about the company and the job duties.

Rettig, who was appointed in 2018.
