I joined MSFT as a manager 18 months ago, and honestly think their remote policy is one of the better ones out there.

Up to 50% remote time with no approval, up to 100% with manager approval. This of course is modulo legal / right to work if you’re moving countries.

I’m not in the US and we’re trying to hire a lot of SWEs right now, and really trying to leverage this for our hiring.

I only have a small number of teams, but we’ve all been remote since April of last year and it has been working well, though I think people are keen to get back to the office for the social aspect.

Those that wanted full remote have already gone that path.

Do you have any advice on applying to msft? I'd love to work for them due to their products and now even more so due to their apparent support for fully remote work.
