Answer 5

I compare "assets" to "worth", Company's are always looking to gain more money, so what quality do you have that will add to the company's value.
"working environment" this is literal so it's not just a place where you work, but a place that is succesful, as in it moves forward without kinks or things that make it break down, so ask yourself first of all do you really want to work for that company, then ask yourself, howdo you imagine is the perfect and orderly setting where your working gears are smooth and well oiled.
