I had a friend that worked for EDS.  They essentially wanted her to
prove that she was married before they would hire her.  They also
made her sign a contract saying that she would pay EDS some outrageous
amount of money if she left the company before a certain period of
time.

The person I know who works for EDS now says that things had 
lightened up quite a bit before he started working there, but that
it's still a bit straight-laced.  (This from a guy who I think is
square, not just rectangular, but square.)
