No matter how badly I was doing in the interview I would walk out when I saw the engineer pull out his phone and start checking messages. How embarrassing for the company to have someone that disrespectful conducting interviews. An interview should be a conversation between potential peers and him pulling his phone out is just as rude as if you had pulled out yours because you were bored of hearing about the company.

It's rude beyond insult to do this during a job interview, whoever decided that was ok to do is basically sending you a very large warning message that even hiring is a job that does not require full attention.
