I actually turned down a really good job because they insisted on installing Screen Sharing (for viewing only) software on my personal laptop (they didn't have the resources to provide a company one). It just makes the worker feel like they are constantly (like 100%) micromanaged. Also they may have to modify their workflow as they may be using quick shortcuts, un-approved software, etc and feel that you would not approve if you knew they used it. The way I look at it, I don't care if they only work 15 minutes of a 8 hour day as long as their tasks are getting done and getting done reliably and thoughtfully (i.e. not hacked up garbage just to make a "this many lines of code by x" schedule). Not only do they feel micromanaged, but in this instance I felt as if they were more worried about me doing work once hired than actually preparing me to work there (i.e. they could spend $199 on screen observing software but couldn't get a hold of a spare ThinkPad).
