The other day I received a call from a recruiter for one of my applications out of the blue without scheduling an appointment for the screening interview, and she asked me "can you share with me what you know about our company?". Her question implied that I need to remember their company even if I applied weeks ago!! Realistically, I am interested in the position itself (I told her that), and since I applied to that position, I have applied to tens of other positions in tens of other companies, and there is no way I can remember what each company exactly does and what's their mission and goal, as the technologies I am interested in can be applied in many fields and for many goals. When I apply I read quickly what they do. but then with a scheduled interview I have another look at the company's website and review the job description. In any case, it's unrealistic to believe that answering these questions give any statistically significant insights about the employee's performance in case they were hired, regardless of how the questions are being answered.
