And if the company said: "so what made you decide to interview with us?" that would be a totally reasonable question as well. The thing is, perhaps from years of being conditioned to expect desperate applicants, some companies haven't internalized that candidates aren't desperate enough that they want to work for your company even before they've talked to you. It's when the question is phased with an implied assumption that "You would totally work for us if we let you, wouldn't you?" that it bugs me.
