Need a little more details but:
1.Might have poured it in the hot sun and it dried too fast,
2.Or,Maybe they didn't use four milimeter polyetheline under the cement to keep the water from running out to fast,
Or, 3.maybe they didn't finish it correctly by "floating it" and "trowling it" right.

the glue was not put on evenly
The cracks appear because of several reasons. usually that soon after application it is a result of the curing process. Cement does expand when it cures and if you pour and odd shape such as L's, T's, and other shapes with internal angles the cracks often originate from the interior corner.
many factors may be causing the cracks. -
wrong sand/cement mix
wrong sand (sharp builders sand needed)
if it dried to quickly then this sometimes leads to cracking!
unstable structure under your floor...
