This question evaluates motivation, mission alignment, cultural fit, and communication skills by probing personal values, long-term goals, and the ability to articulate congruence with an organization's purpose.

In a behavioral interview for a mission-driven tech company, you are asked two related questions:

  1. Why do you want to join this company?
  2. How does your personal mission or motivation align with our company's mission?

Describe how you would answer these questions in a structured, compelling way that demonstrates genuine motivation and strong mission alignment.
