    Work site

    This is the physical place where you work. Work site information provided in a job posting indicates the expectations of working remotely or working on-site. The following information will be listed under the work site field in a job posting:

     

    • Up to 50% work from home 

    • Up to 100% work from home

    • Microsoft on-site only

       

    A job posting that lists 100% work from home can be applied for by anyone located within the listed country.

    Work location

    This is the geographic location of your work. Each organization at Microsoft has guidelines related to location flexibility.

     

    “Multiple locations” listed in a job posting means a job can be done from any or several locations within the country listed.

     

    Please make sure to check the work site field to know the expectation of the physical place where you work.

    Work hours

    This encompasses the hours and days when you work. We encourage employees to work the hours that are best for them and that allow them to deliver according to expectations.

     

    Work schedules can vary depending on individual needs. You will not see any information around work schedule flexibility in a job posting. Your work hours can be discussed with your recruiter and/or hiring manager during the recruiting process. 

  • No 'one size fits all'

    The global pandemic has prompted a revolutionary shift in the way people work. There is truly no “one size fits all.” Microsoft employees share their experiences, what they’ve learned and what they will take with them into the hybrid workplace.

    To thrive in hybrid work, build a culture of trust and flexibility

    There’s no one-size-fits-all approach: some employees cite work-life balance, focus time, and meetings as reasons to go into the office. Others see those as reasons to stay home.
