Share with the interviewer how you would want credit for your hard work. In addition to promotions, raises, and bonuses, consider less tangible recognition such as awards, kind words, or the opportunity to work on special projects that align with your long-term career goals.

"While I enjoy recognition and words of appreciation, I am more motivated by being given opportunities to grow professionally. I love to work with new technologies, learn new skills, and work on anything innovative and exciting. I know that not all projects have these characteristics, so if there is an opportunity to show recognition in alignment with my goals, I genuinely appreciate it."

I do not require any recognition for doing my job. If anything, I'd like to be told if I'm failing to meet expectations for my role or the tasks I'm assigned. Otherwise, assume I'm on the right track and performing as expected.

Wow! You're definitely low maintenance. :) Are you sure you don't like verbal or written praise when you've done something well? What about a bonus or other financial reward? Be honest here so the interviewer understands what makes you tick.
Prepare for technical depth and mission-focused questions that defense interviewers expect.
