Just had my 2 X 45 mins interview yesterday. I sorta have mixed feelings about the interviews. I know I know it all depends on the interviewers, but I would still really appreciate hearing your thoughts on this. The waiting is killing me.

So the first interviewer was very chill, gave me an LC hard problem knowing that it was a hard problem (as he mentioned he wanted to work with me throughout this 45 mins to see how it goes). Long story short, there was a lot of discussions, decision making etc. In the end I was able to code it up (pretty brute force-ish, as the interviewer told me I did not have to worry about optimization.) But I low-key felt like he was saving that "optimization" part for a follow up question, which he did not get to ask as the time ran out. However, in the end, he told me "You did great! I am pretty sure this will work"..and some other positive words too. It was an amazing experience overall.

The second interviewer gave me another LC hard. This time my brain just froze for 4-5 mins (which I informed her lol). She was like "no problem! Take your time" She also informed me I did not have to worry about optimization. So I was stumbling for a while. She asked if I knew any specific data structure would be a good fit for this problem, to which I answered correctly. But then failed to implement that class after writing a few lines, then went back to brute force mode, stumbled again, she gave me some hints, then within 5-6 mins was able to quickly finish the coding, we both ran some test cases (Dry run), she found a bug, I fixed it, and in the end she said it should work. Then the time ran out. Unlike the first interviewer, she did not say "Ahh you did great" or anything (no feedback) and I was also too scared to ask for any feedback. Then she asked if i had any questions about Google or anything, we spoke for a while, she said my recruiter should be getting back to me soon and that it.

Now what do you guys think? Anyone had any similar situations? Should I have any hope?

Update: Got rejected after 16 days (no third interview)
