Doba Again Named Best Company to Work For in Utah

I’m proud to announce that we’ve once again been recognized by Utah Business magazine as a Best Company to Work For in Utah.

At Doba, we’re fortunate to consistently attract the type of people who:

• Like excitement
• Produce quality work
• Play well with others
• Enjoy taking on challenges
• Take pride and ownership in their work

But don’t take my word for it. Here’s what one of our own people, senior designer Josh DeRosa, says about working at Doba:

“Doba has a good separation of ‘life’ and ‘work.’ Employees are expected to work hard – but not ‘18 hours a day, I haven’t seen my family in a month’ hard. Doba has a unique culture in that the workers want to do the best they can for the company – we feel like it’s our company and we can affect our own success. Larger companies suffer from employees feeling like they don’t matter. I feel like I’m heard and that I can directly change the company for the better. Oh…and the eating contests are pretty cool, too.” – Josh DeRosa, Senior Designer

And here’s the Utah Business magazine write up about us:

Work Hard, Play Hard: Doba

Doba, an online drop-ship source to wholesale products for small- and medium-sized businesses, is passionate about entrepreneurs—so passionate that the company recruits kids with lemonade stands, pays them to set up shop in the office and serve everyone glasses of lemonade.

“They make us feel good by contributing all they can to the community,” says a Doba team member about the company culture. “We are constantly doing something to give back.”

But Doba also gives back generously to its employees, they say. Among performance bonuses, a game room and a paid vacation day for their birthday, Doba co-founder Jeremy Hanks creates other special occasions for his employees. In November, he camped out overnight at the Draper In-N-Out restaurant to be one of the first through the door on opening day. He bought 50 burgers and fries for Doba employees. “Drove them down and hand delivered. We had an In-n-Out double double burger brunch,” Hanks said on Twitter.

“Doba’s culture is the way we think life is best lived—casual, fun, challenging and just a bit crazy,” says Blaine Nielsen, Doba president.
