Luck is a factor in all interviews, I like to think of the probability of passing. You have control to increase that probability through practice and truly improving your fundamentals.
One thing to consider is that an interview is just an interview. Your performance on the job will ultimately dictate your future career and not your performance on the interview. So if you were truly hired accidentally at a big company, they will correct for that at some point. If you are a solid engineer and were hired in at the right level, then it will work out!
I always advise people to work on the fundamentals and not to cram for the interviews themselves, you can get really lost in hours and hours of LC.
