      Pros

      There are good days and bad days at the CIA. On the best day, you're working on projects and collecting information that could save lives and prevent war. On the worst days, the projects and information you collect either do actual direct harm to people (domestic and abroad) or it gets twisted in a way that does lasting harm.

      Cons

      The CIA has a racism and sexism problem which speaks to it's general lack of competence. It's astonishing that an organization tasked with an international mission fails so miserably at challenging a culture of complacent patriarchal white supremacy.

      Great travel opportunities, and unique opportunities to do things you wouldn't get to anywhere else.

      Long hours, and invasive security screening process.

      Pros

      Lots of really smart and passionate people. Some teams are really interesting to work for.

      Cons

      Most people are thrown into a random-ish team when they first join, which can sometimes be a poor fit. It's really hard to move around to different career services. Some teams are really slow and a lot of people are self-important and difficult to work with. If you get bad management, you'll hate it there.
