Interview
Unprofessional in times on economic uncertainty:
Had two roles I was interviewing for taken down after completing interviews due to economic uncertainty. After the first time, I was encouraged to stay up to date on their careers page because all postings that were there are 100% going to be filled. Spoiler alert, that was a lie. Before I interviewed for the second role I confirmed with Twilio that the role was 100% going to be filled and is safe from the axe. Well, halfway through the interview process I was informed that the role would no longer be filled.
Glad I got this notification rather than being a part of the ~900 people they just laid off, but I can’t get that wasted time back.

Question 1
Pretty basic behavioral questions, some technical depending on the role.

Interview
Meet with recruiter to discuss qualifications and the recruiter recommended interview with hiring manager.
Hiring Manager was 10 minutes late to the meeting. Did not introduce herself, did not talk about her role or the team. Instead hiring manager confirmed it was me and then started shooting off detailed questions. Nothing hard, but I found it bizarre she was asking specific information about process and procedures at my current employer and then got offended when I told her I can’t give that information due to NDA. Interview ended and I didn’t hear back, but after that I did not want to hear back.

Question 1
Just finance questions but they were target around my current employer instead of me.
