He began trash talking Edward Snowden within 60 seconds, and complained that anyone under 25 (pretty much the sole demographic present at the event) were averse to paperwork and would never make it in the "real world". He also uncannily romanticized doing paperwork and laughed aloud at the prospect of any employees doing any sort of creative work, saying that "engineers are just pencil pushers" (paraphrasing).
He mocked the media's representation of the NSA in a characteristically dissociative way, alluding to that he genuinely had no clue why the public perception of the NSA is what it is.
He finished it off by rambling about "quantum tunneling and metaphysics" (never knew the NSA was so interested in the works of Arthur Schopenhauer) and more or less begging the public at the event to come work for the NSA, saying they were desperately in need of talent.
Up until this experience, I had often considered the public perception of the NSA to be probably unrepresentative of reality, and my opinion could be summed up as "a big fan of Splinter Cell". Now, personally, I am entirely turned off to the prospect of employment with them.
Previously, I had envisioned that any issues within the agency could be remedied by new talent reforming internal policies, but I believe the problems that exist within it are pathologic, and I was enthusiastically informed that any position I had within the agency would be "pencil pushing", "paperwork", and a complete lack of creative fulfillment. What a way to kill prospective talent.
