Contrary to what is said in the article, I find that NDAs are fairly pervasive at Bay area tech firms - maybe with the exception of very early stage startups.

At most of the big co's you have to sign an NDA just to walk past the front desk to attend an event on their campuses or to interview.
I also experienced this at a well known late-stage SF startup when they hosted a developer meetup in their office.
- michaelochurch 13y agoYes, my experience is that Bay Area companies are a lot worse with the NDA nonsense. New York companies, in general, only make you sign an NDA if they're actually discussing trading strategies.

That form is not what I think of when I think of NDA - it's one very brief page. And they don't review what you write. In fact one staff member said "Just print your name" when questioned by a guest. I see it more as just a reminder for guests to behave themselves.
