Xometry reviews

The starting pay for sales and operations staff is an embarrassment. Not aligned with its industry (or other major industries). Additionally, lack of trust in Sales and Operations leadership—a lot of playing favorites and inconsistencies in process management.

Heads-up: Most of the positive reviews on here are from managers and current employees, who have chipped in (overwhelmingly positively, of course) at the directions of upper management. - Xom consistently hires wrong people for the jobs to fill open positions and increase headcount. - Shockingly unprofessional COO with anger management issues. Often yells at VPs and other employees in meetings when there is no need for it. - In Case Management, you are required to consistently use pressure and fear tactics against already overloaded sweatshop-like suppliers in China and the US to work weekends and overtime without any extra pay. This is how Xometry undercuts the competition. - Turnover is still embarrassingly high. There's rarely a week where someone doesn't quit. - Work-life balance is not a thing. If you raise concerns about your workload, at best you will be told to figure out how to handle it yourself, and at worst you will be put on a Performance Improvement Plan (on your way to being let go). The way I see it, everyone's motivation has an exhaustion point. Even if you are young and extra motivated (like I was when I started), you cannot give your 100% every single hour of every single day. And once that you reach that point of giving 80-90% for a few days, even if it is for valid personal reasons, management can threaten you using a PIP (which could very likely lead to termination, like it did for a few people I know). You would think that since this is a small company, you have many opportunities for growth and moving to other teams. Even though they will tell you this during the interviews, switching teams is actually a lot harder than you would think. VERY few people are able to do this. Upper management wants you to stay where you are for 2-3 years, presumably for stability. Every company's management has a style. Xometry's management style is using fear, threats and berating to make you work like a machine, regardless of your needs. Some people realize this in 6 months, some in a year, and for some it takes longer. But once they do realize it, they quit. This is why there is a revolving door of employees leaving. If you don't have an issue with this management style, then you will do great. If you are a prospective employee who is interviewing with Xom or have an offer, I strongly urge you to reach out to ex-employees and ask them why they left.
