"The right people don't need to be tightly managed or fired up: they will be self motivated by the inner drive to produce the best results and to be part of creating something great.
Great vision without great people is irrelevant."
Jim Collins, Good to Great
-
"Yes, compensation and incentives are important, but for very different reasons in good-to-great companies. The purpose of a compensation system should not be to get the right behaviors from the wrong people, but to get the right people on the bus in the first place, and to keep them there."
Jim Collins, Good to Great
-
"In determining 'the right people,' the good-to-great companies placed greater weight on character attributes than on specific educational background, practical skills, specialized knowledge, or work experience. Not that specific knowledge or skills are unimportant, but they viewed these traits as more teachable (or at least learnable), whereas they believe dimensions like character, work ethic, basic intelligence, dedication to fulfilling commitments, and values are more ingrained."
Jim Collins, Good to Great

Hiring Philosophy
SCIA's hiring philosophy emphasizes four qualities that we have found distinguishes great employees from good employees: (1) a positive attitude; (2) the ability to adapt to the ever-changing work environment; (3) the willingness to be flexible in order to meet group-oriented goals; and, (4) the tendency to see the glass as half-full. We focus on providing quality service to our customers by actively searching for the best and brightest minds in the academic, military, and civilian intelligence fields, and then training them to become even better. By focusing on the "who" in prospective employees we ensure that not only does our team possess the necessary skills and knowledge, but the self motivation and drive to make our company and themselves better.
We are continually looking for ways to improve our team by infusing it with those that bring new ideas and talent. Each individual adds a new dimension of expertise through their unique background; enrollment in our (208 hour) Socio-Cultural Analyst Training Program provides a common foundation. If you feel that you possess the kind of personal qualities that we are looking for, please submit your resume through the link below.

What SCIA Employees Have to Say
1. What is your favorite part about working for SCIA?
“Most unique company to work for”
“Continued dedication to professional and academic accumulation that SCIA offers”
“I love the comfortable and laid-back work environment”
“All of our employees are ‘tight-knit’ and out-going”
“I enjoy the attention to personal growth and learning. Many defense contracting companies simply want to fill a seat. SCIA is more interested in the quality of the work it employees produce, and to its end, makes every effort to hire quality people and train them in those knowledge areas and skill sets they might be weakest in. The result is that everyone is well-rounded.”
“I like best the small company environment. No other contracting job would have the same family feel that SCIA does. It is a very welcoming company for employees and their families.”
“No two days are the same”
2. What part of SCIA do you find most surprising?
“I was surprised by the generosity of bonuses and other perks like a free car wash during study sessions, paid for Secret Santa gift exchange, one free Thanksgiving turkey or ham, holiday parties, gift cards, and a pet-friendly environment”
“They really take care of their employees”
“I find it surprising that even though we are a government analyst company, we have the most fun and family oriented environments around Tampa”
“The unbelievable amount of incentives, gifts, and benefits”
“Most surprising is the overly done family environment. How many million dollar companies have pet amenities”
3. What part of working and living in Tampa do you enjoy the most?
“Bayshore Boulevard to go for a run or bike ride after work. You can also drive along it on your way to CENTCOM”
“I enjoy that there are so many things to do and places to go in Tampa”
“I love the nature…I still haven’t gotten used to seeing herons, egrets, ibises and other exotic birds outside my door”
“The weather is great…nothing like 85 degree days in December”
4. How would you describe the SCIA work culture?
“Work hard, play hard”
“The SCIA work culture is very different than anyone on the outside would expect from such a small company. We are very open minded and a "‘Creature-loving’ company”
