Was asked an LC hard with a lot of code to write. (bfs with a twist and preprocessing required for building graph). I wrote the code, tested it and it worked. But still got a reject.
Wondering what I could have done better. Am I just supposed to be a robot who spews out a long LC hard solution with no thinking required?!

You may have solved the wrong problem entirely.
"I solved the problem but got reject" usually indicates some miscalibration. I can't say without watching the interview though
I've also had candidates (when I was conducting interviews) say they were done and the code worked => I point out error => they fix and say it works => error happen 3 times before an actual correct solution
For me Uber passed me even though it was by far my worst performance.
FB failed me even though it was like my 5th best (had literally seen the questions recently).
Got 3 overall phone screen fails, it is what it is.
It's likely the interviewer only meant to ask the first part and had to fill the remaining time.
I cancelled because I got a remote offer... Shrug.
