I applied online. The process took two weeks.

• Short phone screen: Followed by an onsite.
• Onsite: It was very reflective of the company culture—rush, and prideful. I didn't feel welcomed in the office, and interviewers would frequently interrupt because the scope of the interview was way too big for the short interview time slot. Zero buffer time was preserved. They would book a 45-minute room for a 45-minute interview, and the interviewers didn't give helpful hints. The entire interview felt extremely adversarial and judgmental. The candidate in the Google review for the Mercor SF office was quite reflective of my experience. Enjoy the free trip; otherwise, it was the worst interview experience I had ever had.
