NDAs just get in the way man, I want to be able to just leak all sorts of company secrets without any nagging from HR.

    NDAs more often protect strategic information than some big secret.

    Stuff like when they will release something, pricing, etc. It really means nothing to 99% of the planet and will mean nothing in a month, but a competitor can use the information to make counter moves.

      If a company is divulging critical information with a prospective candidate, thinking an NDA is going to help them, they have more problems than trying to fill a job role.

      I used to work on US military computers for drones, I quit like four years ago and the NDA still applies, so it depends. Also some NDA’s have a shorter expiration date than others.
