>>Unfortunately, some insecure developers sign up to be interviewers precisely to feel superiority and power over interviewees.

Had this experience recently. In the 2 hours or so interview. The interviewer bragged and boasted about himself for a good 1.5 hours. Out of 30 minutes of question/answer time I got he would routinely and very rudely interrupt me to tell in a humiliating tone that I was wrong.

Care to share the name of this company? I think the names of these companies should be made public for the general good of HN audience.

I know not everyone in that company would be humiliating like this interviewer but it tells something about the company if they hire such people and put them in the chair of an interviewer no less.
