I interviewed over the phone a while ago with this company, and talked to the founder. I am totally forgiving of interviewer attitude, because I used to hire people myself, and also understand that bad days happen.
But this guy was so arrogant, so conceited, and treated me like the most boring person in the world that was wasting his time. He talked exclusively about himself, and how he was "making this project happen for his kid". He said his motivation for founding the company was because he didn't like any of the schools available to his child. I'm not of the opinion that people must save the planet with a startup, but when you specifically say that you're doing it exclusively to serve yourself and the uber-wealthy, I am not interested. He also abruptly put me on hold two times while someone came into his office during our interview, with no apology whatsoever. We had talked for maybe ten minutes when the second interruption happened, and when he came back on the line, I apologized and said "the culture" wasn't right for me, ending the interview.
My interview with this company is memorably one of the worst interviews I have ever had in my twenty years in the industry. There is no way in the universe I would work for (or invest in) that company.
