You may be jumping to conclusions about your former boss. Your interviewers could have been nasty for all kinds of reasons. They might already have known who they wanted to hire (possibly an internal candidate) and were irritated that they had to interview other people. They may intentionally haze candidates to see how they hold up under pressure. They might have been mad at one another. Or they could just have a nasty office culture. You're probably lucky you didn't take a job there!
