The organization in The Parallax View is so efficient and by contrast, real conspiracies and secret organizations like Watergate, IRS, CIA are filled with second rate idiots and bumblers.

That's part of The Conspiracy.
shareI don't know if the IRS and the CIA are filled with second rate idiots or not. However the FBI and maybe the CIA were portrayed as second rate idiots in this film.
The Parallax Corporation was a private company whose business was in contracting out killers and assassins.
The FBI and maybe the CIA as well was presumably the investigators behind the Commissions organized to look into the assassinations of the Senators at the beginning and ending of the movie and they failed to find out about The Parallax Corporation and fell for the view that the murders were the result of a 'lone gunman.'
So, the governmental authorities in the film in fact were incompetent.
The smoothly operating conspiracies etc. never see the light of day. At most they might be boasted about in some little-read book decades later by some retired agent who may not be telling the whole truth.
In the secret world it is often the failed methodology that comes to light. What works is not revealed to the public at the time, or perhaps ever.

Private sector employers like Parallax pay better.
