How to Answer the Job Interview Question: "Why Do You Want to Work Here? "
The best way to answer this question is to be prepared and knowledgeable about the company. Spend some time researching the company (the About Us” section of the employer's website is a good place to start) so you can talk about the benefits of working for this particular employer.
Check out the company's LinkedIn page, as well. If you have a connection at the company, ask them if you can get some insight into what the company is seeking in an ideal employee.
You might also look for the latest press releases and media coverage of the company, so you have a sense of the company’s future goals. You could even look on the company’s Facebook page, Twitter account, or other social media page, in order to get a sense of what clients or product users think about the company.
The more specifics you can provide, the better. However, don't just talk about the benefits and perks of working there. What you should really try to emphasize is how the company's mission, values, and work align with your own goals.

Assess Your Goals
To prepare an answer, compare your goals with the objectives of the company and the position.
Make a list of the company’s main objectives. Then, make a list of how your own goals align with those objectives. For example, if the company emphasizes community service, you might list this, and note that it is an important value or goal for you.
When answering the question, focus on one or two goals of the company, or positive qualities about the company. Then, emphasize how these goals or qualities align with your own goals, or how your work experience would help the company achieve its goals.
In your answer, rather than focus on how the company can help you, emphasize how you can add value to that specific company. Even though the question is about why you want to work there, you still need to convince the interviewer that hiring you will benefit the company.

How to Answer
When preparing for an interview, review the requirements of the job listing. Then, make a list of your own interests and goals. Note anything that you see on both lists.
Seeing the overlap between the two lists will help you craft a strong response to this question. Your answer should emphasize your goals and interests as they relate to the job. In fact, your response to this question will be slightly different for every place where you interview, because it will be tailored to the job at hand.
Frame your answer so that it shows how you will benefit the company. For example, you might explain that you want to work for a company that encourages teamwork and team projects, because you thrive in a team environment. This will show the interviewer that you will do well in in the company’s team-driven culture.
Even though you want to show how you are good fit for the company, you should not lie. Always keep your answer honest, since employers can tell when an answer is inauthentic. Focus on real answers that also show that you will do well in the job at hand.
Finally, avoid making salary and benefits the focus of your answer.
Responding that way puts the focus on your desires, instead of the company's.
