I'm curious about the "you're interviewing the company" comments here. I think that's true in a lot of places, but some will run algorithms interviews by entirely different teams. Is getting rudeness from a random person out of 10k enough to have you reconsider in those cases?


The thing to remember here is that this is not 1 person out of 10k, it is someone this company/team has specifically selected to perform the role of both interviewing you and trying to maintain your interest in the company and role. If a hiring manager is so bad that they would put someone like the person who OP encountered into a hiring loop then it is a good indicator that either the company is poorly managed or that the people who were not involved in the interview loop are even worse.


Probably. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

I still prefer overt rudeness to silent back stabbing, one upping sabotage though.


It was a very early-stage startup. All the people in the company were interviewing me at once. There were no others.
