We think our employees rock and want to do everything we can to help them succeed, no matter what they’re striving for. That goes double for employees who are inspired to start their own businesses or make what they already pursue even better. If you’ve got a great idea, we want to help make that a reality. Why do we care so much about personal projects? Because we believe they reflect passion, ambition, and drive—qualities that help you grow professionally... View Article

Data security has never been more critical. At Two Barrels, we never forget that a single security breach can have devastating consequences—not just for us as a company but for our clients and every employee who relies on us to protect their personal and professional information. From costly downtime to irreversible damage to trust, the stakes are higher than ever. Security isn’t just an IT concern—it’s a company-wide priority. We value security at every level, and every employee plays a... View Article

We’ve all heard it before: if you’re not learning and growing, you’re falling behind. That’s why at Two Barrels, we’re all about professional development for our employees. And not just the “mandatory annual security training” kind. We want to see our people grow—and maybe even take over the world (just don’t forget us when you do). We’re talking workshops, book clubs, career growth paths, and more. We want our people to be great communicators, effective leaders, and savvy business owners.... View Article

As we wrap up the second year of our Two Barrels summer internship program, we’re excited to look back on its success and begin planning for next year. Our inaugural program in 2023 focused exclusively on software roles, setting a strong foundation, but this summer we wanted to take things to the next level by expanding our program to include front-end development, marketing, and videography. This broader approach has been a solid way to give back to Spokane and a... View Article

We at Two Barrels absolutely love that we get to offer a lot of our team members the opportunity to Work from Anywhere. No rush hour, no paid parking, no unflattering florescent lights. But we also realize that the computer-based tech and marketing work that we do here can lead to a more sedentary lifestyle. And, as we have all been hearing, an overly-sedentary lifestyle can cause serious physical and mental health issues. In this post, we want to talk... View Article

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and that gives us at Two Barrels the opportunity to strengthen (and brag a little about) our commitment to creating a supportive and mentally healthy community. This month, we are emphasizing the power of taking care of ourselves and others, and we’re sharing resources and strategies you can use to address your own mental health struggles. Our hope is to destigmatize talking about mental well-being by making it a priority within our company in... View Article

This spring marks the four-year anniversary of the 2020 pandemic—when just about everyone’s work lives were either interrupted, cut short, or shoved into overdrive. Just like everyone else, our little corner of downtown Spokane was shaken up as all 146 employees were asked to stay home with no end in sight. Before everyone was sent home, our office culture was structured around building community. Our sweet downtown location and modern office (yes, we have exposed brick) was helping us attract...

Black History Month gives us an opportunity to learn about and celebrate people who have shaped our world. To help do that, we wanted to take a moment and reflect on the important contributions and innovative perspectives of the Black community in the fields of technology and communication. Here are just a few of the inventive, intelligent, and important figures you probably don’t know, but without whom companies like Two Barrels may not even exist. Lisa Gelobter led the team...

Employers often advertise their “generous time off” benefits without ever spelling out what “generous” actually means… or even defining what “time off” actually means. Two weeks is not generous. That’s barely enough time to take care of doctor appointments and life events, let alone take a vacation. Three weeks is pretty decent. We start at four weeks and two days, which we think is a generous starting point for paid time off. And we like to keep the time off... View Article

Over the past few years, Two Barrels has grown by leaps and bounds. As we’ve opened more locations and increased our revenue streams, we’ve been looking for ways to give back to the Spokane community. Since its launch in October 2021, we’ve helped sponsor the Gonzaga Hackathon—an annual social coding event held by the Computer Science Department of GU’s chapters of Women in Computing and Association for Computing Machinery. We also plan to send members of our recruiting team to... View Article
