I wouldn't install a company CA certificate on my Mac. It would theoretically allow the company to intercept all my SSL connections. I'd rather validate SSL certs for all the intranet servers manually.

Huh? The top level comment said something about Google search using SSL and "clicking through certificate warnings" which doesn't sound like server-to-server connectivity to me.

If you're worried about your employer performing man in the middle attacks to read your data, you might be working at the wrong company.

If you blindly trust anybody, you clearly don't value your privacy as much as I do.
