California Water Service interview questions

The rudest, most arrogant, unprofessional and impatient interviewer I have ever encountered. This was a 30-minute technical "preliminary" phone interview, where the interviewer tried to cram many questions related to math, data analysis, and GIS (and you couldn't ask the interviewer any questions so I still barely know anything about the role). At the start, the interviewer sighed--giving an impression that he didn't even want to be there. He would then get angry at me for "taking too long" to answer the questions even though I need time to think of my response? Some of the questions had a lot information, too. Now, I'm not an auditory person; I'm a visual person who works much better when I can visually see the list of questions. When I asked him to repeat the question or to clarify, he would get mad at me and tell me how "easy" the question is and how I should have had a thought out response already. There were even times when the interviewer acted in a very patronizing way. For example, when asking a GIS question, he started by saying that I would "struggle" to answer the question (how condescending can you get?), but I clearly knew the answer to the question. He would put words in my mouth, gaslighting me, saying that I tried to "modify" my earlier answer when I literally understood the question the whole time! He even raised his voice at times, I mean--is this appropriate conduct for an interviewer? What a horrible interview experience. I'm a much more qualified candidate than the interviewer thinks I am, but the way this interview was structured was just not conducive to my success (and I have done much better in past interviews where the interviewer(s) were much more professional). Rushed, with an interviewer who micromanages you at every second of the process--preventing you from having the space to think and process the questions. An interviewer who clearly demonstrates poor interpersonal skills and an inability to build rapport with the interviewee. And perhaps that might be what it's like working for the California Water Service. I certainly wouldn't want to be a part of this workplace environment, after what I had experienced.

The interview was conducted over the phone and was approximately a half hour. It involved a series of questions regarding my education and employment background and experience. We discussed my data analytical skills and technical report writing experience. There was further discussion on the position's responsibilities and necessary qualifications.
