Do you feel performance should be rewarded over experience?

This behavioral question aims to gauge your reaction and how you'll interpret this question. Answering whether you feel you should be paid based on tenure or results could speak to what you have to offer. Instead, remain objective and strike a balance between both, depending on the priorities. There are employees that do a fine job, but cruise along day in and day out, having mastered predictably delivering according to the status quo. Although that can have its merits, based on the function of their job, it shouldn't out way innovation and performers who have less seniority but always exceed expectations, going way above and beyond the status quo. Consider these points when formulating your answer.
