Having worked at a couple of places that did bonuses I've come regard them as a bad thing. Even when the formula for calculating bonuses is completely open and data driven it still feels unfair and quite arbitrary since on an individual level there is little you can do to control for most of the factors. There are few things that can create in-company animosity more than feeling you didn't get your bonus because some other team slacked off or not getting a bonus while another group does despite feeling you worked at least as hard as they did.
