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.
