    The good thingsClean, secure building close to cafes and transport
    The challengesThe CIA branch culture is highly toxic. Management is rude. Everyone is out for themselves. They preach Core+4 values but their conduct is completely the opposite. It’s a revolving door with staff turnover and I’m so happy to be leaving this place.
