I'm playing devil's advocate here, but is it possible that they thought so negatively of you that they didn't want to violate the old "if you have nothing good to say, then say nothing" rule? Your response here in the thread does not paint you in a very good light. We recently hired this bright young intern. Only he second-guesses every decision and he's becoming more of a burden than a help. My gut's telling me that you might be one of those kinds of people.

I'm not asking for anyone to say anything "good" or "bad". There is no good or bad. There's the truth, and I'm asking for the basic courtesy of telling it straight. And yes, you can say "you came off as arrogant in your phone interview". I'm an adult; I can handle it.
