Microsoft Compensation Employee Reviews
All
Positive
Constructive
What is the best part about your compensation package?
What I like the most is the health insurance and the pension plan
The whole package is comprehensive - allowing you to benefit in various ways
My pay is the best.
Review from Engineering Dept
All benefits are good for me.
The Benefits package is the best part
Microsoft stock is always solid
It was a hefty amount for early-in career (after coming back from an internship).
Review from Operations Dept
University hire stock is pretty competitive nit no big refreshers after that vests
The medical benefits (aka insurance policy)
health insurance and days off
Health insurance - very good deal
Annual cash bonus and 401k match
All of it. Valuation of Microsoft is best in the world.
Review from Sales Dept
RSU, Paid Health Dental and Vision
It's great but need more fast service for special human
Review from Marketing Dept
I need prof of salary mail or message in my phone for show my local bank to prof mine USD
Employee stock options are the best part
All - Cash, Benefits, Stock
High base and the opportunity to add stocks and bonuses
bonus money - rather have more rich commissions and less stock options
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
PAY. Microsoft is known for paying low and having low refreshers and promotional increases. Even if they never get up to industry standards, they should at least strive to get halfway there. They have the capital to do so. Definitely needs to be more than what it is.
After working for a company for 17 years you would think there are more chances to move up, but instead the likable employees move ahead and then block you so you don't make them look inadequate.
Review from Product Dept
Better understand of losing your stock vests when you retire
Compensate employees fairly instead if favorites on who they hire
Better compensation, it is peanuts here.
Total compensation x 2 (or 3)
Review from Engineering Dept
Management has lack of deep understanding of problem and has bad communication
Feel like I meet expectations and don't get rewarded accordingly
We are underpaid in comparison to others
In some teams women were not treated the same, there were bias which effected performance review. However it's only up to the women themselves to make changes. There is no help or fair recognition of the issues. Some lucky women were used as examples of awards to divert overall issues of slow promo.
I feel undervalued because companies in same segmant pay much higher and award more stocks while giving opportunity to work on latest and greatest tech
Equity. Rational and transparent salary bands.
A consistent program around promotions and rewards. It seems very specific to each manager.
The same person with similar experience as me earns very much higher than me.
Will feel my hours are worth it if my salary increases by 50%
Review from Marketing Dept
total comp. is lower compared to other companies
Multiple years as a contractor and no Microsoft benefits. Otherwise compensation is pretty good.
Pay is very less compared to Faang companies
I think that there is big breach with what MSFT earns and what is shared with employees.
I'm doing most of the work others get credit for and get paid a fraction of what they make
