Well, except that they just exterminated your former employer and all your stock options and compensation bonuses are tied to passing that gauntlet?
It's more like getting a layoff and then offered an interview for a new job.
For me, we didn't have to do the interview. But there were a lot of other strings attached, most drastic being having to move cities (or have a 2-hour-each-way commute).
The money makes it worthwhile, but it's not a happy happy joy joy moment.
I also got a peavish Google recruiter all pissed at me about the fact that we were sharing notes with each other about the offers they were sending us, which I thought was pretty funny.
