Demand they provide a work phone. Never put Microsoft's stuff for work on your personal devices!!!

I would never do that to my personal phone, I installed that in a old phone that I had laying around.

That works, too. Glad to see people not trusting work apps on their private daily devices.

You should demand a work phone but work apps are usually insolated from the rest of the system for both yours and your employers benefit.

It enables your job to track you off hours. Did you go to a protest on the weekend your company doesn't approve of? If you aren't careful, you might give it permissions to your photos. If it's some form of 2FA, it might desire access to your SMS. In earlier days, the Outlook app use to be able to wipe the phone, it is more sandboxed now. But can you see how allowing access to your private information is a bad idea? Just say no. If it's for work related apps, they owe you a device to run it on.

The amount of tracking the intrusiveness of it highly depends on the type of management they used.

MAM or work profiles are most often used for personal devices and it grants the employer the ability to only manage specific apps and or profile.

MDM enrollment is used for corporate owned devices and is more capable.

Here is some documentation for MS Intune, it will be slightly different for other providers but it will be roughly the same: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/android-deployment-scenarios-app-protection-work-profiles

If it's for work related apps, they owe you a device to run it on.

Absolutely.
