NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreement)

aRcTiC_sTaR SG

I have a query on NDAs between the company and employee.

Supposing you work in a game/movie publishing company.

The company usually makes you sign an NDA before the start of a project to prevent leaking out of any news to the media. What are the pros & cons of signing the NDA?

Cons
- If you break the NDA, the company can terminate or sue you

Pros
- Are there any?

Depends on the agreements that’s within the contract. You could be taken to court for breaking the contract, or simply being terminated.

digicharat SG

what makes you think that with cons always come pros? Laughing

FireIce SG

pro is for the company, not u

aRcTiC_sTaR SG

I thought so too. Most of the times there are no pros for the employee in the NDA, other than to keep the job.

Pros and cons are mutually exclusive. Laughing
