My interviewer was very knowledgeable about the company and had a specific type of person for the position. She was looking for someone who had empathy skills, a sincere desire to help others and someone who had the willingness to perform above the expected task.
When I asked her about the company culture, she was enthusiastic about it, which gave me a positive impression about the company. She stated that the people there are like a family and that employees are definitely recognized for their hard work.
