    No. If you're used to more luxurious amenities, Microsoft will be a major shock.

      There are several gyms within walking distance.

      On the other hand, Msft has enough toilets for everyone.

      I remember in west campus at google, some floors have one fancy bidet with heated seat. Good luck trying to use the luxurious bidet after lunch. I’d rather not wait to go #2 than waiting in line to get my ass heated.

    Pro Club beats any on site gym at any company. You only have to go there once to understand this.

  • No but you can $800 or a membership to the pro club which is 5min from campus and they send a shuttle to campus. I guarantee you that the pro club will meet any need you may have for equipment.

    The nearest thing is the Pro Club, a huge fancy gym that msft will pay for. There's a shuttle bus that runs around campus to Pro Club and I don't remember seeing gym facilities in any building. It's long enough in travel though, I don't recall many people using that option.

    More common is for people to jog on campus or do lunchtime soccer.

    Gym reimbursement may have changed since I was at the soft, though.

      Is that gym paid from the $800 annual fitness budget or it's on top of that?

      I left the company before they introduced the fitness budget. Based on what friends have told me, however, you can either get gym membership *or* fitness budget. It was introduced as an alternative for those who don't want the gym.

    Just fyi you are responsible for the tax no matter what option you choose ($800 reimbursement or gym membership)
