This is one of the tough questions you are going to be asked by the interviewer. If you fail to have a good answer to this question, the interview is almost killed. They want to see how much research the candidate conducted about their company. They prefer people who'll take the time to find out these very basic things, too. No answer or a short answer usually indicates no interest. Do not bring up anything negative about the company. 40% of candidates in interview lose the job due to this question.
Note - General Tips:
- Research the company carefully and thoroughly before an interview.
- Spend a lot of time on their official website. - Use other social media to see what they’re saying and where they are engaged recently. Check them out on twitter, facebook etc.
- Keep the answer as long as possible.
- Don't throw the question back to them. Try to mention their mission, objectives, the products they offer, etc.
- Mention their awards and achievements if possible.
