Leaked Microsoft pay data shows how much hundreds of employees report making in AI, cloud, and other teams
Business Insider analyzed a spreadsheet some Microsoft employees are using to share their compensation.
Microsoft employees are receiving their annual pay raises, stock awards, and bonuses as internal spreadsheets promoting pay transparency are reviewed by Business Insider. Nearly 600 employee submissions provide insights into how the tech giant compensates its workforce in the age of AI. The data reveals base salaries, raises, cash bonuses, and stock awards across various teams within Microsoft.
Business Insider highlights the compensation ranges by level and organization, with Azure and Cloud + AI teams commanding the highest pay. The spreadsheet also shows how Microsoft rewards talent in AI and cloud teams, emphasizing the company's strategic priority in retaining skilled workers in these areas. The data, however, is self-reported and may not be comprehensive or official, as it is primarily contributed voluntarily and anonymously by employees to promote pay transparency.
