Whether you are interviewer or interviewee, putting your ego before the goal of the interview is just going to waste the time of both parties.

I can't hire a person that can't restrain their ego for the duration of the interview and an interviewer that is focusing on anything else than figuring out if the candidate is right person for the job is causing disservice to everybody.

The thing to remember is that in some companies the interviewer doesn't care about hiring and is only their because they were forced to.
