My personal view on NDAs is that they invite litigation and as a rule I avoid signing them. Not to say I stick to that 100% in all cases but it takes something exceptional before I'll even consider it. If your product/idea/etc is so easily "stolen" by the details gleaned in a mere conversation/interview then you have a shitty product/idea/etc. If you can't evaluate my skills relative to your needs without telling me the inner most secrets of the temple such that an NDA is necessary, you don't know how to interview. On considering it here, Ive never been asked to sign one in an interview situation with a legitimate company. Plenty of "startups" have asked me to sign something before we could even talk and I politely declined and moved on. Your mileage may vary but I can't see signing a perpetual anything personally.
