I always knew that they were doing something shady. Also their employees have to sign NDA's to work. I know quite a few people who worked at Axact. And no one is willing to tell me what kind of work he/she did there.
I naturally assumed that it had the backing of the pakistani intelligence agencies guess i was wrong.
There is also another thing that i would like to add here, there is an answer on quora which those interested should read[1].
They do give really good benefits, things like free lunch, return tickets to foreign countries for vacation and they give a car to each of their employees.
There was also a rumour going around that axact made its money by making and managing one of the largest pornographic websites on the internet. Don't know how much truth is in that. But everyone i mean everyone talked about that at one time in the industry here.
It's common in some industries, yes, but in California at least, many of them aren't actually enforceable. A company can write an enforceable NDA, but it can't be a blanket agreement. It has to clearly delineate which information is confidential vs. nonconfidential, and establish credible policies for handling confidential information.
(Since employment is at-will, a company could still fire an employee for talking about anything the company doesn't like, confidential or not. But that's a different matter from having an enforceable confidentiality agreement.)
Backing of some intelligence service, most likely. Or possibly a terrorist organisation. It's certainly an ideal setup for money laundering - paying large sums of money for worthless paper.
