How to Answer

Community Answers
Do 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.
"Both tenure and performance are important, but I do lean toward performance incentives. I feel that employees should be paid, and rewarded, based on the documented value they bring to the organization. This approach is a strong motivator - a new employee would be greatly encouraged by being rewarded for performance, and this approach also facilitates a healthy competition with more tenured employees."

Both performance and experience are important. I feel that performance shows that the employee knows what they are doing and cares about the company. The experience is important because they may need that experience to be able to perform, but someone could perform really good without the experience and for that I feel that it should be rewarded. Existing employees should be rewarded for performing well.
Kristine's Feedback
Great answer! I assisted with wording to improve clarity.
I believe both performance and experience are important. Strong performance shows that an employee knows what they are doing and cares about the company. Often, the experience is needed to perform well. But regardless, when someone performs well with or without experience, I feel they should be rewarded.
