At Microsoft, we believe that flexibility isn't just a perk—it’s essential for unlocking the full potential of every employee. We value and support flexibility as part of our hybrid workplace where every employee can do their best work by working the way they work best. A hybrid workplace is a mix of workstyles across work site, work location and work hours. Our approach to flexible work is designed to meet the diverse needs of our global workforce, empowering you to design a work experience that works best for you and your team.
Whether you're at home or in the office, we provide the tools, technology, and trust to help you achieve your best. Our flexible work environment is built around autonomy, trust, and accountability—enabling you to make decisions that fit your working style and meet business needs without compromising on collaboration or innovation.

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.
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.
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.
There is truly no “one size fits all” approach to flexible work. Even as we embrace flexibility, connection remains at the heart of Microsoft. Our digital-first collaboration tools ensure you remain plugged into your team, no matter where you are. We also offer regular check-ins and support systems to foster engagement, mental health, and a growth mindset within our distributed teams. Hear from Microsoft employees on what they’ve learned and what they will take with them into the hybrid workplace.
