Good luck to everyone who made it to the interviews! Wish I could be right there with you.
Our team consisted of one senior developer, a creative director and a visual marketing specialist. We're all in our late 20's and were planning to relocate from the east coast.
The guys at TechCrunch put on a good show.
I've heard of companies asking you to sign a non-disclosure and non-compete agreement. Typically for a period of 3 years post exit from the company. But I'm surprised to learn that they now want to own everything you do even if it's done during your free time and in no way competes with their business. Maybe you should consider talking to a lawyer and find out what your civil rights and equal employment laws entitle you to in this regard.
