I arrived for an interview and was asked to wait a few minutes as the interviewer was held up. A few minutes later he came out, apologised said he'd been called to an urgent problem. He explained that some of the stuff I'd be working on would highly commercially sensitive and while he finished up could I read through the pre-interview contract and sign it. I read through it and though I'm no lawyer it read like they could sue for everything I owned from my house down to my underwear if I so much as said I'd been within a mile of the building. The I interviewer came back a few minutes later and asked if I was happy and had signed the paperwork. I replied that I hadn't signed coz it looked a bit iffy on the conditions and he replied ‘congratulations, you're the first person out of 8 people who passed the first stage test’. Apparently everyone else had skimmed through and signed and not bothered really looking at what they were signing off on.
