Do people work well together at the CIA?

Lindsay Moran (Former CIA Spy) gives expert video advice on: Do the departments inside the CIA hire certain types of people?; What type of person will the National Clandestine Service hire?; What type of person will the Directorate of Intelligence hire? and more...

Lindsay Moran: Some people work well together at the CIA. But as in any big business, there is competition. There are rivalries. There is a lot of politics that go behind your career progression. So people work well together but at the same time, there is, I guess a lot of competition particularly among spies. One of the things that you are taught as you are becoming a CIA case officer or a spy, you are taught really to be very manipulative and to be very duplicitous and this works well as you are recruiting foreigners but it also starts to play into your professional life because when you have a whole organization of people who have been trained to be manipulative and duplicitous it can make for some interesting jockeying for position within the organization itself.
