Benefits and perks
A culture of wellness and balance
Benefits play an important role in your choice of an employer. That’s why we work hard to make sure our benefits reflect the changing needs and wants of our people, and it’s why we provide many industry-leading benefits to our employees who rely on them. Our goal is to empower you with the resources, incentives, and flexibility you need to enjoy success on the job and to live a healthy, balanced life.
Microsoft is widely recognized as a leading company for offering one of the strongest and most comprehensive compensation and benefits packages in the country. We start with competitive pay, bonuses, and stock awards to eligible employees based on individual performance. Then we add on unique offerings that might surprise you.
Leading health and wellness care
Medical and hospitalization. Industry-leading health coverage, more than many other companies offer.
Vision care. One annual eye exam and reimbursement for one pair of glasses or contacts per calendar year.
Dental care. Choose between a basic plan or a plan that covers more—including orthodontic services.
Physician house calls. Yes, that’s right. In the Seattle area, doctors can come to you, 24 hours a day.
24-hour health line. Receive useful, easy-to-understand information 24x7 to help you make sound healthcare decisions.
Free on-campus health screenings and flu shots. Taking care of yourself is as easy as picking up lunch with our on-site Living Well Health Center.
And so much more, including life insurance, disability insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, group legal coverage, dependent and healthcare flexible spending accounts, weight management programs and office ergonomics support.
Maternity and parental leave
Maternity leave. New birth mothers receive 8 weeks of paid maternity disability leave, and may also take short-term disability (STD) leave starting 2 weeks in advance of their scheduled due date.
Parental leave. For births, adoptions, or foster placements on or after October 1, 2015, parents will receive 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave to bond with their new family.
Savings and investments
401(k) plan. We match $0.50 for every regular pre-tax or Roth dollar that you save. So if you reach the pre-tax/Roth contribution limit (equal to $18,000 in 2016), Microsoft will give you an additional $9,000 in matching contributions! For additional tax-advantaged savings, contribute up to $20,000 on an after-tax basis each year and convert to Roth. Also, if you will be age 50 or older this year, consider making catch-up contributions as well.
Employee stock purchase plan. Each quarter, we can purchase Microsoft stock at a 10% discount off the market price during a defined purchase period.
Training and development
In addition to tuition and textbook reimbursement for approved work-related courses, we offer amazing internal resources such as technical, management and professional development classes, a visiting speaker series, TechFest and even our own library.
Time off
15 paid vacation days, 10 paid sick-leave days, and 10 paid U.S. holidays, plus two personal days to call your own each year.
Career development
At Microsoft, you’ll have an amazing range of opportunities. You might become an expert in a particular field or build proficiencies across many areas. You might be an individual contributor or become a manager. Because we have so many kinds of jobs in so many different places, you can stay in one building, city, or country, or you can cross borders—in person, or virtually.
Your career and professional development is a partnership between you and your manager, reinforced by our numerous career resources. And as much as we’re here to support you, we believe your career is an individual adventure. You drive your career development plan while your manager assists and coaches you, and we provide a framework with the tools and resources you need to succeed.
