Pros

I worked for iHerb since 2016 when iHerb first opened Shanghai office branch. iHerb is a great opportunity for anyone who want to excel on his/her technical career and management path. We have grown from 3 employees to almost 100 employees in just 2 years. iHerb uses the latest technology for both backend and frontend development, which is a great learning opportunities for anyone who want to catch up with the market trends. Top Management cares about iHerb, CEO, CTO is always reachable when there is urgent issue needs to be taken care of. Workspace is relaxed, and spacious. We have Ping-Pong table in the Shanghai office, and more activities/equipments in the Irvine office.

Cons

A lots new technologies but mixed with old technologies, makes troubleshooting tedious, and slow.

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.
