TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I think the question at hand is not about high-pressure interviews, but interviews in which the pressure is directed in ways that seem strange if not actually inappropriate.
One can certainly put a candidate through his or her paces without being rude about it.

Subject: RE: Recent unusual interview experiences
If you can't stand the heat of the interview, then how well will you stand
up in a project status meeting with all of those same people around the
table? Can you think on your feet? Do you lose your cool? Are you easily
intimidated?
