I was once being recruited to join a company with pretty much an identical product/business model. Back then things were much more file share/desktop based but pretty much the same value prop. Give away your passwords to all sorts of locations and we search it all, index and let you find things easily.

I declined once I noticed that most other people at the company came from an NSA/FBI background.

Why did having co-workers with an NSA/FBI background dissuade you from working there?

Because the whole thing was clearly an NSA corp with the main objective to funnel data to gov agencies disguised as a very helpful app.

What do you mean "very clearly?"

People with an intel background doesn't make it an NSA op. The NSA grabs top talent all the time, and companies grab them when they leave.

Im curious how you spotted the spooks :)
