Almost every company website has an "About Us" section. Just go there and pick a random rah-rah sentence to use as the reason you want to work there. Even if they figure it out, you'll probably still get brownie points for actually bothering to look at the company website.

NAYRT but this is the kind of thing that drives me crazy. Not because I can't do it, but because I can't see any justification for it. I just cannot see any possible way in which that is a useful predictor of actual job performance, you know?

It lets the interviewer(s) know you're A) invested enough in the interview to want to do well B) are familiar with interviews and interview questions C) At least you did the bare minimum of looking up the company's website. Your reaction(s) to the question(s) sometimes speaks louder than the answer itself.

nayrt and yeah, this exactly.

Lots of these questions aren't intended for literal answers. What really matters is if you've researched the company and if you're presenting professionally.
