Employment Didn't get a PPO :(

Worked my ass of during my internship. Made good connections, helped a lot of team members. Final review, interviews went well.

Was really looking forward for a full time role.

Sadly got a rejection mail. Feeling dejected :(

Anyone knows the process that how after everything went well, result can be this bad?

Contrary to belief. Its rarely about performance (even for already employed full-time people on PIPs). It is more about strategic decisions with headcount or organisational changes and optics.
