I went onsite to Quip and I answered all the questions in the 4.5 hours non-stop interviews. I think I was getting mostly positive reactions from the interviewers and I was liking the things I was learning about the company.
However, I was rejected - the recruiter called me and said that we cannot reveal any feedback as it is not their policy to reveal any information about why you were not chosen.
I feel extremely bummed by this because I do not know what I could have done better or where things went wrong, I was really looking forward to this.
What could have gone wrong here?
This was for a New Grad position.
No TC yet :(

1. Separate the strong candidates from the weak ones
2. Make sure the candidate has a good experience
The second goal means that I’ll still try to respond positively, give hints + encouragement, and answer questions helpfully even when the candidate does poorly. So maybe you solved all the problems but needed too many hints for a strong rating, or maybe there were a bunch of follow-up questions that you didn’t get to, or something like that. There’s a lot of ways you can get a good impression despite not clearing the interview.
