Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online and had a phone screen with two interviewers.

The first interviewer was pretty cool and nice.

The second interviewer, however, was less than tactful. His first question was why I was applying for this position, even though I live in another state, and suggested I should apply to another company. His demeanor indicated that he had already rejected me before any questions began. This experience ruined the entire interview for me.
