- natpalmer1776 4y agoYou're not supposed to disclose you work for the CIA while you work for the CIA. So naturally the only people you would meet who would tell you they work(ed) for the CIA are going to be retired. Even during the interview process you're encouraged[0] not to tell anyone you're applying to the CIA.

- throwaway654329 4y agoIt depends on the assignment. In some areas, the CIA officers are openly recruiting such as in the “internet freedom” space. Often they are unofficially under cover as U.S. State Department but they don’t make much of an effort to hide it. Example: if they think it will impress you into joining them as an officer. Worse example: if they want to make you into an asset, they will toss out threats like candy on Halloween once they have dirt on you.
- jonstewart 4y agoCIA employees are “officers”. The people they recruit to give them intel are “agents.” “Special Agents” is the bog standard title for internal employees of the FBI, where all the agents are special.
