I did well on the Code on the Road test. The subsequent 45-minute tech interview also went well enough to secure an onsite interview.

The first interviewer asked some background questions and presented a fairly basic system design question.

The second interviewer inquired about my best and worst projects. I can honestly say this was one of the best interviews I have ever had.

Immediately after the second interviewer left, someone informed me that I was not accepted. This was extremely embarrassing and a little infuriating.

I believe the first interviewer was put off by my inexperience in full-stack development, as I hadn't worked extensively with databases. I don't think they could have possibly taken the second interviewer's opinion into account, as it was delivered mere seconds after he departed.

One interviewer's opinion should not be sufficient to reject a candidate. To have traveled all this way and be turned away not even halfway through the interviews is very disappointing.

I was planning to leverage Uber's offer to increase my offer from Google, so it's not overly upsetting, but it would have been nice to have had that opportunity.

How would you design Amazon's search?

Talk about worst/best projects.
