I've had a much different experience at 2 very large asset managers, and one pretty large hedge fund.
They all have strict security, but we can remote just fine. My phone has a locked-down VPN set up so I can communicate by phone, slack, and email, and I can remotely log in to my computer through Citrix. My previous companies have had similar set ups. I was involved in the portfolio management and research side of things, and this was true for all of my colleagues.
Remote access to Bloomberg terminals works fine through these solutions.
