Mercor Software Engineer interview with a rushed interview and a no-show

My application moved quickly at first and then ended without much closure. After speaking with a recruiter and taking an online assessment, I submitted my solution and received a denial about two weeks later. The experience was okay overall, but I never got any feedback, so I couldn't tell what went wrong.

Later, I had a separate and more upsetting experience. I was rejected after a very brief interview where the interviewer joined late and the conversation felt rushed. I wasn't given time to introduce myself properly or ask questions. A month later, I was contacted to interview again for the same role, but the interviewer didn't show up. The lack of organization and respect for my time heavily soured the experience for me.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: Negative. Offer status: No offer.
