From having worked in an enterprise environment, there's a chunk of websites that break when you intercept their SSL connection.

Not really, because the client system is configured to go through the proxy. That proxy will connect to the website and do filtering on the unencrypted content because it is initiating the connection. Next it'll re-encrypt everything with its own certificate and serve it to the client.
