> Corporate devices should be for work.

Many (most?) companies are perfectly fine with you using your corporate machine for typical home-life stuff and side projects as well.

Reduces waste of having to buy two devices.

Seems nothing wrong with it to me?



It's something I would strongly recommend against, since it gives your employer easy access to monitor you, and if for some reason your employer winds up in court, everything you used the machine for could end up read into the record.


They also tend to claim ownership to IP created on their assets.


In practice there's usually nothing wrong with it, but when something goes wrong it usually ends up being a big deal.
