What's the office layout like at American Giant?
It needs work. There are changes coming that could help reorient the space but it is really lacking in space and meeting areas.
Tight quarters and not particularly ergonomic. Somewhat industrial.

Compensation is below market. The company is conservative when it comes to compensation and benefits.
It is decent. Maybe slightly below market rate for San Francisco.
What's the work from home policy like at American Giant?
When I was there, non-existent. People do leave at a decent hour unless they’re creatives, but WFH isn’t common.
What's the Marketing team like at American Giant?
It is a hardworking team with a lot on its plate. The marketing team is probably held to the highest standard out of every group within the organization in terms of testing and data-driven decision making.
How's the leadership on the Marketing team at American Giant?
Lacking in imagination. Very cliched marketing practices. American Giant started as an innovator in direct to customer marketing and is aping bigger brands like Levis and GAP. Leadership needs to be scrappy.

Top Employee Response
Better on some teams than others, but overall excellent for a startup.
What do people at American Giant think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
Top Employee Response
AG has a great product, but their CEO is their greatest weakness. Everyone in the company knows it. His aggressive and irrational management style drives away talent and creates an incredibly frustrating environment for those willing to stay.
