Honestly, I would worry that the idea of a compensation package based mostly around bonuses just leads to a massive amount of infighting and politicking and other nastiness from people jockeying for an extra 20k. If I get stuck doing some bug fixes and refactoring for a couple months am I going to lose out to the person who launched 2 new features?

Not trying to be a jerk about it, but as a potential applicant that is my concern. d
