It is common to hear advice that a candidate should research a company before the interview. This doesn't mean top-level information anyone can google. Candidates should know important foundation and recent details involving the company and how that may coincide with the position. Knowing this information is an excellent way a candidate can showcase how they can apply their skills to recent pain points or changes the company is handling. Plus, it can develop into beneficial small talk.
