Officers leave the CIA more frequently. A lot of people join the CIA expecting one thing, but when they find the reality different they leave in less than a decade, usually within five years of joining. The CIA invest a lot of money in its young officers but it is somehow not able to retain the best, brightest and most effective ones. This is because the officers are frustrated with the overall bureaucracy of the agency, which is a shame.
