This might just be an impreciseness of language, but it's actually 20 days after you've been there 3 years, and 25 after you've been there for 5.

So if you're saying 'year six' starts the day after you've been there for 5 full years, then yes, we are saying the same thing.

(Source: have been at Google almost 8 years, and went through both of those bumps)

It's been a long time since I went through these bumps, but I had thought that in your third year you got 20 days? Is that not right? So odd to make you wait for three years for your first increase and then only two for your next one.
