Them: We're going to tell you secret stuff during the interview. Promise not to blab?
Me: Yeah, sure.
As far as non-competes and IP-assignment, from what I've seen these have gotten much more reasonable over the past 15 years. If you write or invent it on the job, it's a "work for hire" and the company owns it. What's wrong with that?
If you don't want to sign, that's fine. But there are probably 400 to 1000 other people interested in that open position, and 99% of them are going to sign the NDA.
Them: Please sign this NDA.
You: No, I don't sign NDAs.
Them (looking at the next guy in line): NEXT!
