Even if the interviews couldn't be scheduled at the candidate's preferred time there is no reason to speak to candidates like this. I don't see why a candidate is wrong for trying to negotiate a time that works better for him. At a time when so many have suffered the brunt of lay offs and desperately only want to give their best at interviews, I expect some compassion from big companies like Pinterest. Anyway, I pulled out of the interview process as company culture is one of the first things I look for.
