This could give access to internal systems to employees even after they are terminated.

A client of ours has employees who installed this on company machines and was access the system after hours.

Their words

Software
Users download a 1.4 MB installer on their host computers. The
software runs as a service and waits for a connection request. When
a connection is requested, the program prompts the user for an
access code before completing the request.

Firewall Friendly
Because the GoToMyPC software on the remote computer initiates an
outgoing connection, the technology works with your existing
firewall and does not require special configuration. Nor does it
compromise the integrity of your firewall.
