Why is it that Netflix is on here but not Microsoft? Microsoft is worth 7 times as much as Netflix.

Because Microsoft pays much less than these companies, but is also more family-friendly and less intense.

I believe Microsoft pays competitively for external hires.

I just looked at the salaries for MS compared to the other Big Tech companies. How does MS get away with paying so much less?

However, I experienced a glitch when, after playing with it for a while, it told me "unauthorized"

doesn't work correctly for me, especially from 4th year - refreshers seem not to be accounted for correctly. And base salary decreases every year for some reason.
