Pros

As an engineer iHerb is a great place to work because you get to work on all parts of the system which allows you to learn a lot and get put outside your comfort zone.

Cons

The management is poor from top down and it especially affects the product side of things. As an engineer that will then affect you with business requirements on tasks and things being unorganized and you work on tasks. If that gets cleaned up it would be an awesome place to work but it starts with the top

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.
