I have been asked this question at ever skill level of job I have applied for, since high school.

It's interesting that when I finally made it to the level where that kind of question is appropriate, they stopped asking. They know why you want to work at a company with an amazing reputation for taking care of employees, and use their time to ask more important questions. I've asked it only twice now that I interview people, and it was when the candidate pool was narrowed down to two amazingly qualified and intelligent people, and I needed some sort of tie breaker. It's not a great tie breaker, but I was out of ideas. That's more of a deficiency with my interview prep than a reflection of the company though.
