Work site

Work site refers to the physical space where you are expected to work, expressed as the number of in-office days required at a Microsoft-designated location. Your work site is where you are expected to be present and perform your job duties. This expectation is based on your role, primary residence, and organization-specific guidelines and it is indicated in the job posting.

The following information will be listed under the work site field in a job posting:

0 days / week in-office - remote

1 day / week in-office

2 days / week in-office

3 days / week in-office

4 days / week in-office

Fully on-site

A job posting that lists “0 days / week in-office - remote” can be applied for by anyone located within the listed country.

Work location

This is the geographical location where you work. It could be a specific city, region, or country. Your work location is important for determining your work site and work hours, as well as for compliance with local laws and regulations.

“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.  

Work hours

These are the hours and days when you work. Work hours can vary based on your role, team needs, and personal preferences. It's important to align your work hours with your team and manager to ensure effective collaboration and productivity.

What Employees like about Microsoft UK

Culture

Good flexibility and smart co-workers, in a supportive environment focused on getting the very challenging job done

Culture

A great company to work for that promotes it's culture beyond the boundaries of the organisation.

Purpose

I love the approach Microsoft has. It really lets me get on with what I do best.

People & Community

The people at Microsoft are the best in the industry, but the culture at work, the growth mindset and culture is something that you won't find anywhere else.

Benefits

Microsoft doesn't just make the right noises but it delivers in terms of flexible working and employee health and benefits.

Working Environment

Come as you are, do what you love. Flexible working times, flexibility re office/ home/ client. I am really happy.

Working Environment

We are empowered to find the right flexibility for our own unique scenario. However, managers need to have more conversations with each of their team members as to what flexibility looks like for them as individuals and then as a team conversation about what the team needs. Otherwise, I think we are extremely fortunate, as a working mum, I don't think I could find as much flexibility elsewhere.

Purpose

I love working here! Proud to be an employee

Culture

Flexibility and culture is what I love the most

Inclusion

As a full-time working mom of two young children, flexibility is incredibly beneficial for me as it enables me to effectively juggle work and family's needs, including my children's school and activities.
