BGW Reviews

Team and culture. The team makes the company.

1. The work we do is so rewarding. I love designing churches and schools that provide space for communities to gather together, learn more about Jesus, and encourage one another through the ups and downs of life. I love our mission. We know that churches are built by gifts from congregants; we want to be good stewards of these resources, and provide great value and beautiful aesthetics, no matter how big or small the budget may be. We aren't big on our own ego, but want to humbly work with our clients to give them a space that can make a positive change in their community. 2. I've grown so much professionally, and have been given quite a lot of responsibility and opportunities to grow my knowledge and skill as an architect. From simply learning drafting to now going on site visits and essentially running projects, I’ve come a long way in a short amount of time. I think a few former employees had mentioned feeling pigeonholed in their role in the company- but my experience is that if you show yourself capable of growth and have a conversation about what your career goals are, higher-ups listen and help you get to where you want to be. 3. My coworkers and team are such wonderful people. No one is perfect and we all have good and bad days, but most days we work hard to strengthen each other, encourage each other, and work well together to deliver beautiful projects. We're like-minded in our goal and mission to serve the church and build God’s kingdom. 4. We are an employee owned company, and while I don't get a "vote" in matters, we have a board of great people who listen to any concerns, and work hard to move our company forward well, with our mission, clients and employees at the forefront of their minds.
