iHerb Response
10yiHerb is one of the few e-commerce companies in Irvine boasting a strong work-life balance as well as generous benefits to our team members. Most work days are standard 8 hours in duration with occasional “pushes” before a publish or special project. We support employees’ desires to enjoy outside interests, family and community passions. Our health and welfare benefits are among the best in our sector along with a great 401(k) match, profit sharing, employee discounts and on-site perks.
We do not believe in high turnover; it’s not good for employees or our team. Our recruitment and interview practices have become more stringent as we work to find the top talent with the best “team fit” to join our team. This rigorous process supports our continued growth while ensuring that our new team members will be successful in the long run. The great majority of our new team members are direct hires; very few join us on a contract basis.
While we are not able to comment specifically to compensation we are happy to report that our compensation practices and model are very consistent and generous. We review market data on a regular basis and generally bring top talent in at higher-than-average rates. Along with our market review, we review internal practices to ensure internal equity.
We have experienced architectural changes with code requiring some clean up. Again, this is nothing unique to iHerb. We have specialized teams reviewing and making great strides to ensure that our code is maintainable and scalable while supporting the best customer and operational experience possible.
