Terrible practice. Unless the candidate themselves is rude or doing something totally off base. That has to be really rare. Your pre-screen process should prevent most of the completely unqualified candidates from getting in the door. From there, once invited to your company, it's important to treat people with respect. Besides that being just generally good life advice for Any Situation, it makes good business sense too. People talk, and if I hear a company has a bunch of asshole interviewers that cut people off, I'm not gonna apply there. I'm gonna assume the entire company is assholes.
