Microsoft's Comprehensive Benefits Plan is as Solution-Oriented as Our Products Each full-time employee at Microsoft receives a wide spectrum of valuable benefits to begin with, and then decides how conservative or far reaching he or she wants these benefits to be. For example, scaled-back Health Plan Choices allow you to qualify for more Personalized Benefits, or even extra cash back. This brief overview outlines the components of our benefits plan, which are explained in greater detail on the following pages. Health Care Plans Microsoft pays the full premium cost of medical, dental, and vision coverage for eligible employees and their enrolled family members. The choice is yours on which plan you want and the level of benefits paid out. Personalized Benefits Simply choose from a diverse listing of flexible benefits, including life insurance, disability coverage, and more. Financial Plans Microsoft offers you a 401(k) plan, which allows you to defer pretax salary; health care and dependent care spending accounts; and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), where you may elect to buy Microsoft stock at a substantial discount. Microsoft Extras As one of America’s most progressive companies, we offer an array of special extras. These include an adoption assistance plan, matching charitable contributions, tuition assistance, and much more.

We are an equal opportunity employer and support workplace diversity.
