If a company requires me to bring my own hardware they better offer a "sign on bonus" equivalent to the cost of said hardware. Coz I ain't gonna install whatever corporate Spyware they require to be installed onto my hardware. Heck even their corporate hardware sits on a separate vlan that has no access except to the internet.

New hires should also be skeptical of a company that too-blindly trusts people to BYOD arbitrary workstations. Like, how do you really know that the person's BYOD workstation is fully up to date on patches for its relevant OS, doesn't have any viruses or trojans or screenshot/screen recording tools running on it? Or unauthorized Anydesk/Teamviewer, etc?

It's indicative of a company that doesn't take security seriously as something that should be built into a product from its foundation, or as a general corporate philosophy.
