Pros

There are many projects going on, most of them leveraging cutting edge technologies. At iHerb, devs have the opportunity to experience working on an e-commerce with huge customer base and real time trouble shooting

Cons

Coordinations between teams are very bad, very close to nothing. Planning can be improved a lot.

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.
