Pros

My direct team members were pretty great to work with.

Cons

Dealing with senior leadership felt like storm augury. You cast the bones, you read the entrails, and still the COO comes in like a hurricane and destroys your crops. Priorities change like the winds because upper management can't communicate. ICs are constantly yanked off projects and put on other ones, with no chance to clean up tech debt or finalize anything. Also, the company supports some dubious pseudo medicine, and sticks to evidence based medicine only JUST enough to provide plausible deniability.

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.
