XACT Engineered Manufacturing Solutions

Hi, I have been with Xact for almost 4.5 years, working different positions on the floor and front.  I have seen it all. It’s not the most organized business, but it’s a great company in terms of growing professionally if you’re not lazy. Compensation is fair and you may get an unexpected bonus if you do well. Amount of work could fluctuate tremendously, and you must be adaptable. I see lots of people leaving negative reviews after they depart but nobody wants to complement Xact and that’s why I’m writing this. Managers are trying hard to improve work environment and get rid of people who play politics or lazy. Lots of negative people left this year and culture is improving. I also enjoy working with new people who started in the last year and I feel supported in my new role. This may not be the best for a corporate person who is used to calm office environment where things run slow. But if you are passionate, honest and energetic you will succeed here. 

I’ve seen a significant positive shift since the new management took over. They’ve really prioritized employee satisfaction, and one of the biggest improvements has been the benefits package. Even though the company faced some slowdowns in the last quarter of the previous year, the new management didn’t resort to layoffs like the previous leadership did. It’s refreshing to see that they’re committed to retaining their team and providing stability during challenging times. I feel valued here, and it's clear that the leadership cares about long-term success for both employees and the company. Highly recommend working here!

Very top-heavy with no clear hierarchy. Poor communication among management team leads to frequent need to stop production because of design changes. The managers and particularly the owner are condescending and occasionally downright rude. Expect to be watched like a hawk for mistakes but given almost no training. Morale is low and there is little effort to improve it. 

Little regard for safety or the comfort of employees - working conditions are extremely hot and PPE use is not enforced. 

Layoffs are frequent and expected. Expect to have a new manager every few months. Notice periods for layoffs is the bare legal minimum.

Owner is always hovering around every employee just to find mistakes but not to train or eliminate root cause.  Everyone holds their knowledge, no culture or not imposed by company to have a succession plan. Someone is missing, the complete production gets halted. Too much politics , many employees close friends from owners wife that just jeopardizes work environment, trust and job quality. No SAP related system to check clients past history or know were similar configurations were allocated... needed to ask all the times...

typical day at work is not always busy, that is why I learned a lot about every process in building cables and panel boxes because if we are not busy I got to find something that I can do so almost all the process I already know. management is not that good, communication is an issue, workplace culture is not even that great. hardest part of the job is having a lot of bossy people around that would give pressure in what you do. enjoyable part is I get to work with other nice people that is fun to work with

While the coworkers were very hard working people and easy to get along with, management was always kept on a very short leash and were un-able to streamline productions. 
People would be hired and fired constantly, we would be working with new groups of people on a weekly basis, and lose more experienced workers regularly due to lack of work or that they were considered to be too new to the company for them to keep them.
The owner of the company was always trying to cut costs any way necessary, hence the constant replacement of the workforce.

On May 1, 2024, Matrix Technology, a leading industrial materials and specialty wire harness manufacturer, have officially acquired X-ACT Technologies Ltd. / XACT Engineered Manufacturing Solutions.
 
This acquisition has since brought a fresh perspective in boosting the company’s continuous growth and a dedication to all Employees’ well-being, growth and satisfaction.
 
The newly formed Matrix / XACT group is highly committed to creating a positive workplace, where team members can thrive in an environment that fosters a culture of trust, respect and cooperation


Worked for a month and then got terminated simply because the performance was slow. Maybe if you guys gave sufficient training and things to do the outcome would've been better. They were hiring and firing almost every day. Maybe if you guys warned or said, in the beginning, we need fast-paced workers this all wouldn't have happened. The owner and supervisors like to walk around bugging employees to be faster and faster like robots. Starting pay is 16. Avoid this company

I love X-Act, otherwise I won’t be here for over 2 years now. I work with amazing people on the production floor, they are all very supportive and caring. Management is also very supportive and fair. Job is stable, we haven’t had any major layoff even during Covid. Lots of training options, including IPC and iso. Pay is above market average. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Do not work here .  It is suck

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They layoff people with no reason. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nothing to say about it. Not good company 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Too early and long at. Start at 6 and done at 4:39
