Microsoft Benefits

I am starting work in a few weeks at Microsoft. Can anybody tell me what benefits I might get that I can use before end of year? Do I have access to the stay fit benefit right away? Xbox Pass? Any benefits I should know about that aren’t publicized in orientation? Location: Permanent Remote TC: 125k plus stocks Any help is appreciated. #Onboarding #Benefits #Microsoft #HR

Yes but you would get $400 instead of $800 as there is a cutoff date before which you should join to get the full benefit. If your manager approves, you can get additional $300 equipment. Xbox Pass is heavily discounted along with other subscriptions office, windows etc on the internal store. Some discount on hardware but everything is out of stock ATM. Discounted software purchases are capped @ $1200 per year. LinkedIn Business discount ($15 p.m).

How longs does it take to get reimbursed after you use the money?

1-2 paycheck cycles after you submit claims.

How'd you get a permanent remote role

It was just offered. Didn’t have anything to do with it.

Do you mind telling us the role and your location? Is there a microsoft office where you live? Was it advertised as a remote position or you asked them to make it remote
