Do you feel performance should be rewarded over experience?
The interviewer would like to know your thoughts on being paid based on your work performance versus being compensated solely on your years of experience. As millennial employees continue to dominate the work scene, more and more employees are requesting compensation based on delivered results. Consider if you feel that you should be paid based on tenure or results. Discuss this with the interviewer and back your answer with an example if possible.
"I feel that employees should be paid and rewarded based on their performance. A new employee will find motivation in being rewarded for performance, and it encourages healthy competition with tenured employees."
"As a high performer, I know it feels great to be compensated based on my performance. It's motivating and, in my opinion, a more modern approach to keeping employees happy and engaged."

Anonymous Answer
As much as I feel that performance should be rewarded over experience, I also believe that an individual's knowledge gained through years of experience cannot be ignored. So I think that as long as there is no injustice being done to either party, both performance and experience should be rewarded as they promote efficiency and loyalty respectively.
