The interviewer would like to know if you are motivated by financial incentives or rewards in the workplace. If you are not incentive-driven, you can clarify for the interviewer the other ideas in which you are best motivated. Discuss any performance incentives you may have earned in the past.

"I love performance incentives! In my current role, we have a few contents per year, primarily based on financial goals and project results. So far, I have one day off and coffee from Starbucks for a week! What types of incentives do you have for fun here at Netflix?"

"I've never worked in a performance-based atmosphere that paid bonuses, commissions, or other incentives, but I think they would be great for the right roles. I'm a very motivated performer on the job and wouldn't hesitate to consider a position with performance-based incentives here at Netflix."

I do get motivated by incentives. Or at least, the fairer I feel that I'm being treated, the more motivated I am to go that extra mile. I enjoy working at a level where I can make an impact, but then my work needs to be recognized and appreciated. It's important to me that the incentives match the effort and performance I put in.

Rachelle's Feedback

Very detailed response, which will be helpful to the interviewer.

Anonymous Answer

I only work on projects aligned to my core mission in life, where my intrinsic motivation keeps me excited to get up each day. Along the way, being acknowledged of the smaller milestones goes a long way to keeping energy up. It's a nice-to-have where the company is being thoughtful in ways of showing appreciation, but I'm personally not as motivated by smaller carrots.

Rachelle's Feedback

The interviewer should gain a lot of insight from this answer when it comes to motivating you. Nice response!
