QUESTION 26 OF 35

Do you feel performance should be rewarded over experience?

This can potentially be a tough question to answer. The interviewer is looking to see if you feel you should be paid based on how long you work at Colgate-Palmolive, or if you produce more results (tenure vs. performance). You can approach this question by thinking about what motivates you in a role. When you craft your answer to this question, keep an eye on what the job description entails. For example, if it is a sales role and outlines you will be based on the percentage or number of sales, you may want to structure your answer based on that.

"I find that it depends. Some employees that have quotas to meet I find should be paid based on performance and others can be paid based on tenure. I think it is up to an organization to know what works and motivates their employees best. I do think that it should be a fair and equitable practice and whatever the company decides should make sense for their roles. I would be interested to learn more about how Colgate-Palmolive rewards its employees."

"I feel both performance and experience should be equally rewarded and weighted. I would be curious to know a little bit more about Colgate-Palmolive's outlook on this and how employees are rewarded."
