Did this woman fail? Good chance that she did. At a higher rate than a man, or any worse? Cannot be proven. The reason why she was in that position in the first place is that all the men decided that OBL was not worth their time. You cannot give someone a shit sandwich then complain that it stinks in the lunch room.
From the article she seems to be acting in lock step with CIA procedure and has fully integrated in their Culture. It seems that her only real failure to the CIA is learning how to burn someone else for your mistakes.
