Interview
Interview was a first stage call with HR where we went through basic questions around experience. The call was polite but there was a lot of talking from the HR person rather than me being able to talk.

Interview
As others have noted, I was sent a generic rejection email shortly after my 1st round with the recruiter. Towards the end of our conversation, I asked if there were any concerns or reasons I wouldn't move forward so I could have the chance to address them and I was told no. I also expressed that I want the job and I know the product and really believe in it. The rejection email a few days later had no feedback, I followed up and asked for some sort of reason and wasn't given any.

Dear Sender,
We’re really sorry to hear that you didn’t receive any detailed feedback following your interview. Our recruiters always try to provide specific reasoning for rejection, but it looks like something went wrong in your case. Mistakes happen, and we genuinely apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused.
Yours, Semrush Team
