This is pretty common with a lot of companies switching to byod (bring your own devices to work)

The idea is the company saves money by loading a secure workspace to your personal device instead of paying for a corporate device.

Companies setup a mdm server such as blackberry, good, airwatch, etc that basically send a remote wipe command. You would then download an app to activate it.

It depends on the company but check if there is an opt out clause or demand the company to provide you a corporate phone as you don't have a personal device.

It's ok in most cases since the company is paying for your phone bill as compensation so you can just get a second personal device.

I'm not sure about the legal issues, especially if you can't opt out of it.
