Do you also pay far above average wages? If not, you should be careful of what trade-offs you are making. If you demand above-average performance in some areas (eg algorithms), then you'll on average get below-average performance in other areas (for a fixed wage), at least to the extent that hiring markets are reasonably efficient.
We offer above-average benefits, including one that is very difficult to others to compete with: we write almost entirely free and open source software.
