[RTW] NDA agreement for visiting the Googleplex

[Cullen Jennings]

I did seem to be allowed in the toilets and even more interesting there was really cool coding advice written on the bathroom wall. Cisco certainly would have considered such fine advice "High Confidential" and have an ISO 9000 process for managing the information retention policy for writing on the bathroom wall. It was less clear if I was allowed to ride the segways ...

I've done this several times in the past at Google and I still get to go to their great cafeterias and all the areas I have needed to go to. Google does everything they can to make this NDA topic an non issue and I really appreciate that.
