>And I simply meant that I don't think that this company wouldn't have been able to do it without. They simply chose not to do it without. And if they so choose it seems reasonable to want to protect those secrets. You can always choose to share company secrets in an interview But if a company doesn't understand they don't have to to interview successfully, I seriously doubt their ability to understand how to do pretty much anything else successfully An interview is advanced marketing - you don't sign and NDA to read a billboard or press release. There's no reason to need to sign one to interview :)
