My friends working there say the culture is toxic and the hours are worse than ours with very little control. Command and control hierarchy I'm told.

Know their twelve pillars (or whatevs) they call them. Weave them into your interview. The interviews will focus on seeing your fit for those pillars (usually 1-2 per interview.

Google their leadership principles and tailor your responses to them. There are 11 or so of them.
