Research a Company Deeply Before an Interview

Everyone reads the about page. You want to walk in knowing how the company actually makes money, what just changed at the top, and the question that signals you did the homework. This builds a pre-interview brief on the business model, recent news, leadership and pressures, so you are the candidate who clearly turned up prepared.

<context>
You have an interview at {COMPANY_NAME} for {TARGET_ROLE} in [timeframe]. You have done [describe current preparation: e.g. a quick LinkedIn scan / nothing yet / read the about page]. You want to go in knowing things most candidates will not.

<task>
**Build a pre-interview company intelligence brief**:
1. Business model and how the company makes money
2. Recent news, product launches, leadership changes, or strategic shifts (last 12 months)
3. Competitive landscape: who are the main competitors and how does this company differentiate?
4. Culture signals: Glassdoor patterns, LinkedIn employee tenor, stated values vs apparent reality
5. How the role you are interviewing for connects to the company's current strategic priorities

Use this to generate 3 insight-based questions that signal genuine understanding.
