Failing onsite SDE interviews

So far I've failed 3 Facebook, 2 Google, and 1 Amazon onsite interview. Got an email from Facebook to try again, but don't have enough confidence that I can pass the interview. Do you think a mock interview would help?

I just happened to clear one of these companies. With out a doubt, doing multiple mock interviews is the best way to overcome this. I did multiple a week and to simulate onsite interviews in terms of keeping long hours of focus, I even did multiple a day

I don't have friends in tech that I can do a mock interview. Did you do it through a company?

I'm interested as well. Did you use a mock interview service and if so, which one?

I did about 200 problems including many medium and hard. I still failed some onsites. I recommend 300+.

You failed and they asked to interview again immediately?

Facebook and Google you have to wait 1 year

How do you fail amazon... thatā€™s almost as easy as msft

I really don't know. I thought I did good. I had 15 min to do there coding part of the interview and I was able to get it done mostly within that time frame

It's easy to fail their LP questions.
