Yeah it's relatively common for companies to restrict and even claim any individual IP as their own.

Definitely double/triple check your employment contracts

Truly, how the hell can they even justify such a posture, or how do employees not spit it back in their faces? I can see these (presumably tech) companies having a claim for IP if it was partly created through company resources, but having a rightful claim on anything that you as an employee do in your spare time while an employee? That's reprehensible and grotesquely absurd.
