Life-work Balance

Individuals combine their strong skills in a competency with their adoption of BGI’s Core Values – Leadership, Integrity, Commitment, Teamwork and Excellence.  BGI recognizes that professionals prioritize their commitment to their team.  We also recognize that our people often balance commitments to their family, volunteer organizations or other duties.  BGI adopts work practices that support of a positive life-work balance.  When allowed by the contracts, BGI offers a compressed work schedule that creates a three-day weekend every other week.  Flexible work schedules and hourly compensation give individuals an ability to fulfill their commitments early, meaning employees can generate free-time to support their causes without using paid time off.  Telecommuting can be an option once an individual is comfortable with the team.  BGI supports government and industry partners across the country.  We work with our customers at their locations, either on-premises or through our primary engineering office in Akron, OH.  Customer locations include Lexington Park, MD, Orlando, FL and Dallas/Fort Worth, TX.  Travel to these or other locations supported by our customers, and opportunities to experience first-hand the impact BGI products have on our customers’ lives, are available for the adventurous.
