Just received an email that Microsoft would be extending an offer. They want me to setup a call with them to go specifically over compensation and benefits.

My wife is pregnant and we are expecting the baby to arrive around late Dec 2024. I was planning to take part of my bonding leave as early as Jan 2025 with my current company.

In my discussion with them, I’m planning to ask them explicitly about healthcare benefits and what insurance providers they work with. I don’t plan on disclosing that I’m expecting a baby. Should I disclose this information ?

Does Microsoft have a waiting period like a year in some companies (my wife’s company does have it) before an employee can avail paid bonding leave ?

Anything else I should consider with respect to benefits in my current situation ? Pardon my ignorance, this is my first job change in the US.
