The interviewer asks this question to see if you have researched their company. They want to hear specific reasons their company stands out from others and why you applied to their job. When performing your research, find unique aspects of the company that makes you want to work for them and include those in your response. Possible answers include having values that align with yours, being the top-rated company in the area, having high employee satisfaction and a low turnover rate, or offering room for professional advancement.

Avoid giving a generic answer or one that shows you did not research the company before your interview. The interviewer wants to see that you have done your homework and have a genuine interest in their organization. You should also avoid telling the interviewer that you want to work for them because of the salary or benefits package they offer, which shows you are only interested in money.
