  Being told I'm a good culture fit but don't have enough experience is equally frustrating. Especially when it's a rails dev position and I've been working on rails for 9 of the 12 years it has existed. I eventually figured out that they meant something else - like I hadn't lead a team (bigger than 2) directly before and was interviewing for a lead dev job, or I didn't have much operational experience since the previous startup I worked at was very simple and built on Heroku. In some cases it might be that I didn't have experience with the specific JS frameworks that they were using (e.g. Angular, React, whatever). But the impact is I come and interview, it goes well, smiles all around, and then they say no, we were looking for someone with more experience and I'm thinking... what? What experience? I have to kinda guess. Anyway, yeah, saying no culture fit sucks because you don't know what to do with it; maybe you could do practice interviews with friends and see if they see any glaring annoying tendencies?
