I'm consulting for one now. For the most part, they filter porn and borderline porn. However, they also filter Facebook (but not LinkedIn!), YouTube, and a few other things mainstream sites.
Circumvention certainly isn't that hard, but it also likely violates some company policy. I connected my Droid to their Exchange servers and got a nastygram from IT security (albeit a few weeks later).
Ironically, the risk isn't just that I would get caught - the first time would be a hand slap unless they wanted a reason to get rid of me. The corporate culture is so focused on conformity and compliance that it would be absolutely shocking to others that I would have even considered such a thing. And, this affects perceptions of trustworthiness. [No, I do not like any of this!]
