How much of an incentive is a 25% bonus modifier? I can imagine people (who presumably are already paid well) ignoring the incentive entirely, and continuing to work on more interesting projects.
Additionally, many people will be in positions entirely irrelevant to social: This includes non-engineers, perhaps sales, and people working at lower levels of the engineering stack (i.e. people working on large scale filesystems, racking servers, the chef...). These people are more likely to be alienated or more simply confused, rather than encouraged in the long run.
