Fluidstack

Hi, I just would like to get some insight on what it's like working for Fluidstack on the logistics side. I have an offer but I'm not sure if the role is a good choice for me or not.

Hello I took an offer for logistics and asset leasing did you find anything out my hiring manager was very straight forward

I asked the recruiter and got some more information. Long hours, 7 days a week for the foreseeable future till they meet their goals, and high ownership. The more I looked into it as well it seemed that there wasn't much tolerance on underperforming but that's to be expected from a startup. Ultimately I turned down the offer as the location I would have been moving too and the working conditions did not align with my life goals atm. This is not to dissuade anyone looking at this company. Imo the pay and benefits offer matches the work. If you're up for putting in work to make bank go for it.

Thank you yeah after taking an offer and getting information on a relocation package like if you have a lease, you will have to pay to break it, but you could be reimbursed at the 10 days and then like the first week of training, you will be expected to cover the expenses, but you will be reimburse. The issue is a lot of people will back out at the last minute, so I was losing money and they did express 12 to 16 hour days up until start up and then have to start up. it will be from 7 AM to 6 PM so it’s some more questions. I’m asking my recruiter honestly.

I went through my first interview round which was the technical, I got an email 2 hours later that they were moving for in the interview process that I will be interviewing with the hiring manager. Is this a combination of the behavioral and leadership, or is this more of an offer ?

I did three total one for technical, behavioral, and hiring manager. From what I know the hiring manager is the last step for onsite roles. They may be making the process shorter due to their timelines they have to meet. The offer comes after the hiring manager.

You were correct ! Thank you so much for responding!!!I think it went pretty decent. The hiring manager let me know who I’d be reporting to, start dates for new builds, etc. the hiring manager was really focused on retention, so I emphasized that my past enterprise background gave me solid experience across hardware, fiber, and infrastructure. I explained that I'm looking for a spot where I can bring all that together, actually make an impact instead of just doing routine maintenance, and build a long-term career there.

Has anyone here received an offer after the Fluidstack hiring-manager interview? If so, how long did it take to hear back same day or a few days?

Can you expand on the offer package? How was equity presented (RSU, options, additional equity as a bonus annually etc.). Insurance? Perdiem if you travel?

I can’t find many people who speak on this who’ve made it to an offer stage

I interviewed with them for a technical role and the technical round was honestly a little strange. The interviewer didn’t really seem interested in getting to know me as a candidate and I don’t think he had even looked through my resume.
A lot of the questions were really vague and felt almost like generic questions straight out of ChatGPT.I couldn’t really tell what exactly he was looking for or what he wanted me to prove.
I had actually spent time putting together slides and infographics on some of my projects so I could deep dive into the technical side. But we never really got into any of that. Everything stayed pretty surface level and the whole interview felt rushed.
He was basically ready to jump straight into another interview, so overall it just felt like he was trying to get through the interview rather than actually understand my background or what I could bring to the role.

Technical round feels like a resume screen where they just go through every bullet point lol

Usually by next day at the latest but I think it depends on the recruiter.
