NDA’s Yes or No?

So today I found that an app I had designed is now live on the App Store. It got me thinking, I wasn’t notified or anything ( I know they don’t have to) but out of curtesy I thought they would have mentioned that it went live with the UI designed.

NDA’s are they worth it? I signed one for this company to do said work. I’m all honesty I fail to see the need for NDA’s and think they’re not needed 100% of the time but I also see it from the other point of view.

What’s peoples thoughts on these and do you sign them?

NDA's are standard procedure for many dev jobs, and if you want the job, you sign or they revoke the offer, so not much of a decision really. That said, in the US at least, if you witness anything illegal or even unethical, the NDA is no longer enforceable.
