Pros

Great opportunity in business growth, which in turn makes it necessary to apply the cutting edge technology of cloud computing, big data business intelligence and AI. As an established e-Commence company, iHerb has been expanding very rapidly in global market recently, which opens up a lot of oversea opportunities. It's amazing to see the company become more globalized.

Cons

Not fast enough to refactor key business components which is causing lots of pain when running them in parallel.

Pros

iHerb pays 100% of medical benefits for you and your immediate family. They are generous with vacation accruals. Salaries are generous.

Cons

The company continues to operate with a small-business, "mom-and-pop" mentality despite its growth. Leadership is highly centralized, with most decisions driven by the CEO. Employees often perceive that those who are not viewed favorably by leadership are eventually managed out of the organization. There is a culture of fear around speaking up, as many employees worry about potential negative consequences to their employment. Favoritism among leaders is frequently observed, and advancement opportunities can be limited for individuals who are not part of the preferred inner circle.
