**Figure: Where Microsoft sits among software and technology services companies.** A strip of dots, one for each of 120 peers in information technology and services, spread from 2,000 to 2,000,000 employees on a log scale. Microsoft is highlighted and falls in the 100,000+ employees range among the largest.

*Peers in information technology and services placed by employee count on a log scale. Sizes are rounded ranges from public profiles.*

Headcount on public company profiles is rounded and moves as a company hires, so use the range as a guide, not as a payroll figure.
