It was short and quick. The question was more mathematical than coding, but that's okay. The screen was reasonable. I decided to stay at my current company and hence decided to decline the offer.

Pros: I'm sure a ton of other people have talked about this, but again, perks are awesome. They attract the best people because they are one of the best, and they make sure to invest in their employees so we can continue being at the top. All you can learn! There are classes on everything that's hot (not just in tech) + the 20% time off is a great way to learn.
Cons: It's easy to get carried away and spend all your time working on cool stuff, so make sure to spend some time for off-work events.
