Anyone use a company Managed Mac?

Moving job soon and managed to swing a 15" M2 Air 16/512. This will be the first time I'll be using a mac that will be company owned and managed. Does anyone have any experience?

I assume it will be locked down and the AppleID will be my company AppleID.

It'll probably come down to your work policies and attitude towards devices.

It's health insurance business so I believe they are quite locked down.

I was given the choice when joining this new company because I know the guy hiring me, he knows I have a preference for Macs. Windows would probably be better for playing nicely in the corporate world, but I know that getting a Mac will mean better hardware specs. Their bog standard Windows laptops leave much to be desired.

Instead I'll be getting an M2 15" MacBook Air 16/512 which will be a lovely thing to work on.

When I used my Mini for a while, it had to be managed but didn't find it got in the way at all, as I still used it as a personal machine. I can't remember seeing anything being locked down or blocked

I think it depends on the policies from what I've read. Some are more relaxed that others.
