I would never sign one just to interview with the company. But if it is purely an NDA and they are saying they want to hire me but also would like to show me more details before coming on board, so we both get to make an informed decision. I have signed those before, and would again. Assuming it is strictly an NDA and not a non-compete. If it was a non-compete, or a non-compete hidden in NDA form I would politely walk and be honest about why. I also would be leery of any job posting that wouldn't give some reasonable details. I get a stealth mode start-up, kind of, although I don't totally agree. But that doesn't mean they can't say who they are and at least what space and technologies they are in/wanting. I see neither of those as competitive advantages that need to be hidden.
