No

If the interviewer was extremely arrogant and condescending, I would leave in a blink. I think you owe it to the rest of the business world to poke them right in the eye - despite the presumed "well connectedness". Don't kid yourself.... nobody's that well connected that the proceedings of an interview are shared with the business community - they have better things to do. And if another business happens to think that's cool, then shame on them - stay away from them too.

I was on a phone interview and came real close to pulling the plug for the same reasons. It was humiliating. She was an interview Nazi. Looking back, I wish I had. During the interview, I couldn't quite grasp that an HR person could act that way.

Whether HR peeps realize it, you're interviewing them too.
