I have a friend who interviewed at iRobot a few years ago, the guy is brilliant, best coder i know by far. He may not be the most social (tough culture fit), but he can get work done. He went through the rounds, nailed the interviews, and eventually got an offer. If i'm remembering correctly it was about $5k more than he was currently making, but would require moving to Boston. If you factor in the cost of living (coming from Michigan) he would be losing money. He advised them that the offer wouldn't be worth it for him and they didn't even counter, just said, 'ok well thanks for inquiring'.
