Pros

Only the brand name, nothing else behind the company. Please make Doble Great Again !!!

Cons

Since 1920 the company became one of the leader in power industry. BUT, since 2001, Doble struggles to provide innovative products. Doble prefers to purchase companies such Morgan Schaffer (old technology) , Manta (poor market), Vanguard, Doble Lemke (company shut down 4 years ago). BUT, they have not invented any innovative products such the competition like Omicron or Megger. You cannot overcome to your weakness by only purchasing companies.... you have to be innovative. If you are looking for a safe job, never apply to Doble. Look for much stable company like Omicron or Megger. Doble is more like a financial oriented company, held by its parent company ESCO. Of course, you will get a reasonable salary working with Doble, but you will never know if you are still with Doble tomorrow. From the New President ( who does not have any experience in Doble industry and making wrong decisions 1 after others) , to VP up to Directors, you will never get to have a proper strategy or direction within Doble. Customer Services is very poor, repair of products always comes with reliability issues. Doble Products are always having issues when delivered to customers in states. HR is very poor also by not providing a long term HR visions. Doble relies too much on their brand name. ZERO marketing ! The Doble Services Solutions is peanuts compare to world class companies such CESI, UL or even ELIA Grid... But it is not enough when you have competitors such Omicron or Megger providing world class customer support. Our HQ in Boston will soon move somewhere in order to sell our historical building. Doble needs a serious thinking about customers needs like Omicron or Megger. I could have wrote a much longer text, but I guess you get the overall picture. Doble is like a old company collapsing. Mr Doble's President, Please Make Doble Great Again !!!!

Doble Engineering Company Response
7y
Doble is growing rapidly and adapting to changes in the markets we serve which are placing more emphasis than ever on renewable energy and distributed generation. Much of the recent growth has come through acquisition of businesses with technologies which are required to meet the changing needs of our customers, but a substantial part of our growth is from internal research and development. We will continue to invest in new hardware, software and services that our customers need. Doble has to change and grow to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
