The place I worked at last year in Boston's Back Bay (finance) upped their internal referral bonus from $5,000 to $10,000. There's been a bit of a tug-of-war between financial companies and Kendall/Central/Harvard Square for a while now. The difference between the two camps is Cambridge is more open about it, while Boston (particularly finance) is more hush-hush about it and still stays very defensive in salary negotiations. Large referrals aren't new to Cambridge though. I'm old enough to remember the Honda S2000s and the Ferrari 355 Ars Digita offered employees for repeat referrals.
