Central Intelligence Agency Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I worked for the CIA since June 2007. I was recently RIFed because I was in between assignments and Congress mandated that they reduce their numbers. It was an okay place to work, I learned a lot of skills because they liked their MSA's to change positions every couple of years."

"I have worked as an analyst for the CIA now for 3+ years and find it to be a very demanding and challenging workplace that enables me to use my abilities to the best I can. The work environment has given me the tools I need to succeed and move up in my field, as I constantly strive to challenge myself, and thus why I believe moving to the private industry would afford me that new challenge.
