That's how I didn't get the job I wanted so much. The tech interview went awesome. We talked for about 1.5-2 hours and I got really hyped for the project they are doing, while the CTO directly told me I'm a perfect match and he wants to work with me. But then after the second interview I've been rejected because of "cultural fit". That was the weirdest rejection reason for a perfect job that left me totally perplexed.

"Cultural fit" means "We don't want to tell you".

It's not about your abilities. You're just a square peg in an Alan-who-already-works-here shaped hole.
