I signed one with my current company. Talked to my sister-in-law attorney about it, and said they generally aren't worth the paper they are written on.

It is essentially a scare tactic to try and get you to not take a job with a rival firm.

However, they do protect against using proprietary information to harm the company.

That and your book of business. A company doesn't really care that much if you go work for their rival, but if you take their clients with you then they start getting upset.
