They usually have extreme security guidelines for employees. All external laptop ports disabled, so no way to plug in periphery nor connecting a tv for a presentation.

No internet access at on laptops or only with a sim card which only allows connections to the VPN bastion host etc. Direct Internet on premise is a no-go as well, obviously. So no checking stack overflow if you've got any issues

They still leave infrastructure with default passwords exposed to the internet and implement questionable password policies for their customers... But they do everything they can in order to sabotage their employees!

Perhaps "high security process organization" is a better term.

That's a good description. The invest a lot in highly secure technology and processes, and then ignore them out of convenience.
