Alice: "This is a great #internship because you’re treated like an employee...They want to enable you and challenge you, so they put you on teams and give you work that impacts the #mission."

Alice: "I previously didn’t know that CIA recruited #engineers. My #STEM background has laid a foundation for all positions I’ve held within CIA, and many of my project leads have been happy to expand my knowledge further."

Alice: "The work itself is challenging and fun, and it’s always rewarding to accomplish a project that impacts the mission, but I like the people the most. All the offices I’ve been a part of have welcomed me and the teamwork I’ve experienced has been unmatched." #NationalSTEMDay
