Company Score
How we calculate this
Pay Volatility Score
This measures how much of the typical Microsoft package is stock and bonus rather than guaranteed base pay, based on the median split across 75 self-reported submissions. At 7/10, a meaningful share of pay depends on bonus and stock performance — expect some swing in take-home from year to year.
Equity Score
This isolates stock alone (not bonus) as a share of the typical Microsoft package, based on the median across 75 self-reported submissions — so you can tell whether "variable pay" here is real equity upside or just a cash bonus. At 6/10, stock makes up a meaningful chunk of pay here — worth factoring in vesting schedule and stock price risk alongside cash comp.

Pay Spread Score
This measures how wide the gap is between the P25 and P75 CTC at Microsoft, relative to its own median — a sign of how negotiation-dependent pay is here rather than how much you'll actually be paid. At 8/10, pay varies widely between the lower and upper quartile — offers here look highly dependent on negotiation, level, or track rather than a fixed band.
