ZELTIQ Aesthetics Reviews

Pros

It was great to be part of this team and was a nice company prior to the acquisition by Allergan.

Cons

Employees are not as happy since the acquisition.

Pros

Had hot product in fat market

Cons

One trick pony. Technology wise they Keep reinventing the wheel

Pros

Zeltiq is one of those companies where it is not hectic like a start-up (you will find structure and processes) but not too rigid like a big company (you can get things done pretty quickly). We work hard and it is fast paced but also can enjoy a balance between personal and work lives. There is quite a lot of internal mobility (either up or to other departments). The company keeps growing and has a great product that actually works! Overall most people seem to truly enjoy working with each other. For commuters, the office is at the intersection of 580 and 680 and reverse traffic for those coming from South Bay and the BART station is 2 blocks away.

Cons

The office setting needs to be reviewed. Because of the rapid growth it is really crowded and the style is kind of old. But we have heard they are looking are getting more space and remodeling everything. Can't wait to see that happening.

Pros

Amazing training program - You can really tell from the amazing 2 month on boarding process that the company invests in their employees for the long haul. I'm fortunate to work with a team of the most talented people and helpful/dedicated Managers. Definitely work hard, play hard. The money is great and the companies reputation and growth makes it attainable. I do love how the company has hired the majority of their managers through the ranks - it definitely helps when we are put in tough spots with our accounts when our Manager has most likely been there, done that. The healthcare benefits are amazing, generous car allowance, expenses on the road with no limits (in reason), and working for the #1 device in the non-invasive fat elimination market has it's perks! I don't think I've ever woke up excited for work before I took this job!

Cons

I really cannot name any!

Pros

Great product that works. The competition doesn't touch it.

Cons

Honestly shocked to see so many positive reviews. That was not my experience and I don't know many people that were happy. Not to mention I've never worked for a company that has had so many people quit in their first 1-6 months. - Executives and senior managers are out for themselves and in turn create chaos for their teams who are trying to collaborate cross-functionally - Want to think they are a start-up (essentially because they don't have proper resources) - asks people to move quick, but then does not want to give them an autonomy or ownership - Constant changing priorities and priorities/goals that don't align cross-functionally - Pay is not competitive and they attribute it to them being in Pleasanton - Unreasonable hours - While the product is great, they have been taking a lot of risks and launching to soon to make numbers and look good to Wall Street, so I don't know how long that will last - They attribute any issue with an employee (or why someone left) to their PI - a personality test you take during the interview process. They blame it on the wrong personality instead of taking a look at themselves. - A bit of a cut-throat vibe. You have to agree and play the game their way.

Pros

Zeltiq is a great company to work for. The people here are really nice and they all treat each other with respect (For the most part) . Since its a growing company and has been profitable the past few years, we've been getting lots of free lunches along with trips to baseball games.

Cons

The only negative thing is that if your a manager and you know how to manipulate people then you will get promoted fast. This is bad because these are the ones that have the least experience and will micromanage you or try to put you down to make themselves feel better. Also, certain departments will be required to work like a slave while the management does nothing but go on facebook and youtube.

Pros

The company is constantly seeking to improve employees' experience through ongoing feedback, formal town hall meetings and manager training. The people here are smart and nice, with much less corporate politics than at most companies. Product is great and R&D team is constantly seeking ways to improve patients experiences with it. Overall the people I work with and my manager seem genuinely happy to work here.

Cons

The company generally works in silos with some cross-functional teamwork for specific projects but could use more. Facilities are getting a little outdated which we've been told they are working on.

Pros

I have been here over 5 years. Best IT team and leadership I've ever worked with. Everyone in our IT department collaborates and works well together. Great people overall and the benefits are very generous. There are also a lot of fun company activities. Of course in IT there may be overtime from time to time, but management really shows their appreciation and rewards you for it. The CoolSculpting really works. Employees are offered free CoolSculpting treatments so I had my abdomen area treated. Within 2 months I noticed my abdomen area was flatter. One of the many great benefits!

Cons

I don't have any complaints!

Pros

I am so glad I joined this company. The people are friendly, we have a great culture and the CoolSculpting technology really works. The management team seems to care about people, communicates well with employees and has high integrity. There's a generous benefit plan and a nice 401(k) match!

Cons

We're growing quickly so there's always a lot to do and the pace is busy. No complaints, though. Who wants to be bored?

Pros

The product is great and really works. I was proud to say that I worked for a company that was at the forefront of non invasive body sculpting. My coworkers were awesome and very talented.

Cons

Four managers in less than a year due to constant organizational shakeups. The culture in this department is such that you will be set up for failure and happily thrown under the bus when decisions are not made by fearful managers in a timely manner. Fearful management make for a negative and threatening environment. Long hours, no ability to take time off even when time and travel off had been booked, constantly called and texted at all hours of the day and night.
