Just as a side note, most employee agreements in the USA have non-disclosure statements that vary in restrictiveness. Some even restrict who you can work for if you quit (a few states like CA have made non-competes illegal) - PA has a strong non-compete law so if you live in PA you should read the non-compete especially carefully. I've seen discussions about how companies can't enforce non-competes, but unless they are illegal in a particular state, non-competes as long as 2 years hold up in court (side note - my wife is a senior software IP attorney).
