Today I interviewed for a backend Dev role. The tech stack for the role is different from the one I currently work on. But I cleared the first round so don't think that might be reason for rejection. Also, this was a product design round and nothing technical was asked. Most of the discussion was on gathering requirements and corner cases for one of the product design.

The interviewer seemed happy with my answers through out. He did mention 1-2 gaps in my answer but overall he was satisfied.

At the end of the interview he did praise me for one of the project (Android app on play store) I've taken up outside my job. He went on to say that he wish he can do something of this sort himself.

It was a 1 hour interview but we finished in 45-50 mins. I was elated post the interview and expected positive feedback. I got a rejection mail from HR after few hours. I am really not sure what went wrong. Recruiter did not take the pain to inform me the reason why I was rejected.
