NDA agreements are perfectly legal in the United States, given that they do not enforce "illegal penalties" for divulging information (ex. Nexon can't kill you, but they can fine you, etc.)
Moreover, they are common practice for many employers, especially in the high-tech sector. It's often used to avoid trade secrets from being leaked out by employees who are laid off / fired.
