Software Development Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I met with them at a career fair and received an email for an online assessment (OA) the next day. The OA went fine, and I was scheduled for a one-hour face-to-face interview. I was asked to solve the duplicate files problem on a whiteboard. I did it optimally by first using BFS and then a hashmap to store file hashes. However, I still received a rejection. It's depressing when you perform well in an interview and are still rejected without any feedback.
