I think I did answer well. However, my lack of experience was very visible all over my answers especially to questions that are asked pertaining to the 14 principles before they hit you with a coding question. Every interviewer asks you to describe how you have demonstrated one of the 14 principles of their choice in the past in your previous work. I had only worked in an intern capacity prior to that, so I was not able to talk much about risk-taking or customer obsession to match the standards of what they probably do in their day to day. One of the interviewers actually asked me if that was really the biggest calculated risk that I had ever taken. I do not blame them, though.
