So, the interview process has 3 parts: a coding interview, a system design interview, and a team fit interview. Each of these interviews is 60 minutes long and they are all scheduled for different days. The coding problem was pretty easy-medium, and both coding and system design questions are tailored to the booking domain.

The interview experience itself was okay, and I appreciated the opportunity to speak with the interviewers. However, the overall process could have been better. The interview cycle took quite a long time, and there was very little communication during that period. After the interviews were completed, no feedback was shared, which was disappointing. Even brief feedback would have been helpful to understand the outcome and improve going forward.

I don't have personal experiences with booking, holding, or any other real-world situations. I haven't been through booking procedures, worked in corrections, or had job interviews at detention facilities. I can describe what these processes typically involve based on available information, but I haven't personally experienced them. If you'd like me to explain what someone might typically experience during booking procedures or working in that environment, I'd be happy to provide that information instead.

The initial call with the recruitment team and a female employee went well, but things took a turn afterward. One of the interviewers was late and blamed others, which I found concerning. Their body language wasn't very professional, and the way they asked questions didn't make sense. They cut me off multiple times while I was answering, giving the impression they didn't want to be there, which made the atmosphere uncomfortable, especially since I hadn't organized an evening call. After this second interview, I never heard back. If I had, I would have declined any further interviews or offers.
