I work in R&D for a telecomms/optics company.
All servers are on premises. Not allowed to have a laptop. No access to emails/data outside of the office. No USB drives, printing documents, etc.
Reason? Protect IP. From who? Mostly Huawei.
Good and bad: When I walk out the door... I switch off. The bad is that working from home isn't realy an option. Although they have accommodated somewhat for this pandemic.
