Global Entry & Passport Renewal
I need a new passport within the year. If I apply for GE now, with the current one, will everything in the CBP system update automatically when I renew (and will the new passport come with a sticker already in it)?
Also, I know they ask about work history, but how in depth do they get in that regard? Given the various trade secret-related NDAs I am under, I wouldn't want to be in a situation where it's either violate one of them or refuse to provide information that not only gets me denied from the program but also leads to extra scrutiny in the future.

Regarding the work history, they ask for five years history. Everything in the past five years.
Your NDAs are not going to be violated. You have to disclose the places of employment, addresses, and the dates (no major details)
If you fail to disclose all places of employment (and they somehow find out), they will deny you GE.

Yes absolutely - lying is a no-no.
The GE/Nexus program holds members to exceptionally high standards. (GE user can get heavily fined for an offence that a regular traveler would probably get away with a warning)

Yeah, unless you work for the CIA or something, disclosing your actual employer (as opposed to the substance of your work or with whom you contract) doesn't seem likely to violate an NDA. If you work for the CIA I imagine they can get you into GE through other avenues.

Some employers tell their employees to avoid such trusted traveler programs to avoid disclosure. This will surely become an issue as TSA spreads their interrogation tentacles nationwide. And some security clearance levels require prior permission before doing any kind of international travel, along with a post-trip debrief.

Otherwise disclosing your places of employment won't generally violate NDAs.
OP you mentioned that your involved in various trade-secrets. GE doesn't need to know about those, so you will be ok. They're simply interested in the company you work for, place of work, and the dates of employment.

And if you have a security clearance requiring permission for international travel, enrolling in GE wont change getting permission.

Oh, no, nothing like that. It was more about discussing the exact nature of work I was thinking of. And also income (which I have no desire to discuss for personal privacy reasons): that's between my employer, myself, my accountant and the IRS.

Though I'm sure if they're really interested, they can find out.

IIRC, they did ask why I had traveled to a certain country, but I was happy to explain it because the work I do is public anyway (or at least my employer is happy to have people know about it). I got the sense they were asking (a) out of curiosity and (b) market testing to see if GE is attractive to tourists or business travelers or both.

The form will ask for dates of work, name of employer and address. The interview is "generally" going to ask innocuous questions or perhaps show you how to work the kiosks.
Nothing to be concerned about in either case.

Once your passport renews, you have to update it in the GOES system. (same goes for your driver's licence btw). The new passport does not come with the sticker, but you can walk into any GE office (no appointment), and they'll give you the sticker.
Regarding the work history, they ask for five years history. Everything in the past five years.
