I had my final round of interview over a 45 min coffee conversation. It kicked off with the questions I had for them and there were none that was directed my way and the time was up. Im not sure which direction this concluded in but they said they would debrief and touch base early next week. I’m worried.

I wouldn’t want to jinx you but this sounds positive. It sounds like they wanted to see if you had any hesitations or reservations about the role, team, or firm. Likely they’ve already gotten what they need from you in prior interviews. Fingers crossed for you!

Was there cross questioning or was the person just going off on their own?

It’s a question you get to answer, but think it seems it was more of a coffee chat rather than a formal interview honestly (more of a screening than a test) So wouldn’t worry about it.

Everyone has their own interviewing style--some good, some not so good. It's like cooking: some people follow recipes to the T while others wing it. There's a misquoted adage that applies here: The proof of the pudding is in the taste. I know it's easier said than done, but I wouldn't read anything into it. For all you know, you might have hit a home run because you had insightful, thoughtful questions they enjoyed. Good luck!
