I had LinkedIn on-site interview, there were 7 rounds, I think I did great, the DS round interviewer there itself said I did solid in his round, the telephonic round feedback was one of the best they have seen(that’s what recruiter said). Next day recruiter said the feedback is good and he is hoping for best. But day after I was told HC rejected and it was a tough decision for them. WTF.
No feedback nothing.... why they had to reject, if the feedback is good and already they are having hard time hiring engineers.
Honestly I was not even impressed with some of the interviewers, they didn’t even seem so good technically.
What is the HC looking for????

    Sometimes everything looks easy and you just get rejected.

    If I had to guess, maybe they didn’t like your personality. You sound kinda arrogant from your post

      OP
      Well I am not so pissed off generally but they really put me on edge here, recruiter said everyone liked talking with you.

    7 rounds means system and infra. It’s common that you get all your rounds scored around accept boarder and get rejected because system and infra hc has the highest bar

    Or your target team’s head count is gone (teams look for expertise and they will not be interested if you don’t have the expertise)

    Or hr is not giving you the right expectation

    Ps phone does not count at all. It only grants you an on-site
