The place where I work does these regularly, and you get slammed hard if you fall for one, and frowned at if you don’t use the “Report Phishing” button on them.
But the knuckleheads contracted testing out to a company that always sends the tests from the same domain.
So anyone even the slightest bit savvy about spam/phishing/email headers can set an Outlook rule to dump test emails to a special folder and pop an alert.
