Pros
Lots of fascinating work, worldwide mission, plenty of places to work overseas if you get bored with the D.C. scene.
Cons
The Counterintelligence Agent career specialty feels too generic since Analysis, HUMINT, and Security also focus on CI but they seem to have more authorities and do it better. Having them in the U.S. Army makes sense because it's massive and has many non-intelligence units and people to support. It doesn't make sense for a much smaller agency with organic CI missions though. It seems like the career specialty only exists because managers are overwhelmingly former U.S. Army types who want DIA to be more like the Army, which is an awkward model.
