They didn't. I was one of two technical interviewers. We both recommended on passing [not hiring]. It was only a seasonal internship, so we weren't super grilling, but we still recommended a pass. We were overruled by the hiring manager who mentored this person outside of of the office.

I’m confused. Are you using “pass” as in “pass on the candidate”(fail) instead of “pass” as it is used in the context of an exam?

Pass, as in "pass on the candidate (fail)". Apologies for the confusion. I've edited my comment for clarity. Thank you.
