BGI is a team of professionals that consists of more than 75% active or former military. Our Executive Leadership Team are former fighter pilots who understand the importance of camaraderie while serving in a high-risk operational environment. A healthy “ready room” fosters respect, teamwork, and employee satisfaction. This concept applies well beyond the boundaries of the military to any work atmosphere that requires individuals to excel in their roles, while supporting team members. This culture permeates throughout our entire organization.
Although I haven’t been with BGI long, it’s apparent to me that this company operates with great pride, professionalism, and commitment to its core missions. I also appreciate corporate leadership’s trust and confidence in me to get my job done. They provide me vital support by delegating to me decision-making authority and supply me with the necessary tools and resources to succeed.” - Brad “Blister” Barnette
“In Arlington, I appreciate the camaraderie and support that comes from within Gold Division. I noticed a lot of people have been with BGI for quite some time and I think that says a lot about the organization. Leadership also allows a lot of flexibility that is very conducive to a happy personal life. I also appreciate the support from the team at the home office.” - Justin “HK” Jones
“My favorite things about being with BGI are working on both 4th and 5th Generation aircraft programs and making sure the programs provide the best training devices to our current and future pilots. It is a great bonus that we have the flexibility to do so while still flying for the USAF Reserve.” - Scott “Buster” Clyman
“In Orlando, I like the shared sense of purpose and the comradery. Many organizations fail because of people, but I love the fact that BGI hires extremely talented individuals with a passion to making the programs we support better for the customer.” - Scott “Zing” Manning
“My favorite part of working for BGI and by extension L-3, is interacting with the engineers to turn my years of experience into new, authentic training experiences for Remotely Piloted Aircraft crews in the Air Force. Shaping the future of training, to aid my fellow Air Force instructor brethren produce new, effective warfighters, is an honor and a privilege.”- Mike “Hooves” Eddolls
“It is impressive, and a breath of fresh air watching how quickly the company can adjust course when required. BGI organization’s genuine concern for the employees is quite evident all the way from the CEO on down. Every time a member of the team has needed assistance, they have received timely, personalized, responsive service whether it deals with HR, payroll, finance, IT, etc. I am indeed proud to be part of this team!” - Ed “Easy” Ryder
“I absolutely LOVE my job and enjoy working with all of the wonderful people at BGI and Link.” - Billie Triplett
“My favorite thing about BGI is the military personality that is so deeply rooted in the company culture and leadership. Our company culture drives an environment of respect and professionalism, but it allows for some fun too. I love the overwhelming number of acronyms (which I have turned into a game of giving them my own meaning before I find out what they really stand for.)” - Nancy Chilton
“My favorite thing is that the company operates much like a fighter squadron ready room. Good camaraderie, good friends and a great atmosphere.” - Derek “Baffle” Ashlock
“My favorite thing about BGI is the people. From the time I was hired, everyone I've worked with via email, phone, and in person has been exceptionally nice and helpful. Additionally, the team that I work with in Orlando is top notch and full of knowledge.” - Seth “Hacker” Murray
"I am always looking to challenge myself and have meaningful work. BGI allows me to fulfill this goal through the unique and exciting projects I get to work on daily. On top of that, my colleagues at BGI create a friendly and pleasant workplace." - Josh Palcheff
