Who the fuck is making you sign NDAs just to interview? That seems absurd for most roles/places.

Who the fuck is making you sign NDAs just to interview? That seems absurd for most roles/places.
- j-scott 2y agoDatabricks, Snowflake and Stripe required NDAs for the onsite portion of the loop. The NDAs covered anything internal discussed during the hiring loop.
- giantg2 2y agoThat's crazy. Unless they're hiring you to solve a novel problem there's really no reason. If you're not paying me for the interview, I'm not signing an NDA.
- igor47 2y agoFrom the interviewing side -- if you're under NDA I feel more free to answer arbitrary questions about the business. But your opinion is not unique, so my current company stopped asking for NDAs. We sometimes still do it during the offer stage if a candidate has a lot of detailed business questions
- giantg2 2y agoYeah, I could totally see it being valid if I start asking for business model or implementation details. The only time I thinknid ask something that detailed would be if it's a startup and I want to understand their financial situation to see if they're stable.
- brainfog 2y agoIf you're interviewing for staff level positions and above, you'll be discussing long term planning and some pretty tactical stuff where an NDA makes perfect sense. Might be a bit overkill for senior and below but meh.
- giantg2 2y agoYeah, I could see it for any sort of high level position. I wasn't thinking in that context. I was thinking for just regular devs.
