Does your company allow you to WFH overseas?

Just curious, I've heard many cases in London and NY that large companies won't allow it's employees to work from home from another country.

Any specific reason for it? I get that if you work for long enough might raise a tax issue, but for, let's say ,2 months shouldn't be a problem?

Most of the times, you're not allowed to work overseas because of legal and cyber risks. In consulting, clients usually sign contracts and demand that consultants work in the designated offices/countries so that data is secured. Especially for global firms, clients don't want their data to be shared with people in offices in like Russia or sth. It's understandable given that even many big banks got hacked.
