Pros

You get to use the latest technology. Because the teams are small you get to wear many hats and grow much faster than at a bigger company. You have much more opportunity for design choices and your choices directly affect the end product.

Cons

Poor planning by management. Random deadlines get dumped on developers and are expected to work extra to pull it off. Developers are the ones who support production, 24/7

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.
