Cracking the coding interview trains you for one interview type. Many places do multiple interview types:

1. Coding challenge <- Your interview was mostly this.

- Make an object

- Make a mini-app

- Fix this code

- Refactor this thing

2. Design a program on a whiteboard

3. Algorithmic & Data Structures <- Cracking the coding interview helps here, and is the type many engineers struggle with.

4. Hiring manager interview <- the most subjective

People also will bring up if you're an asshole in any of the above interviews.
