What People Are Saying About Simplex Trading

  • Time Off Access: Policies such as generous PTO, paid holidays, sick time, sabbaticals, and parental leave are highlighted, with flexibility to take time away once role expectations are met. These provisions make stepping away easier when workloads permit.
  • Wellbeing Programs: Amenities like fitness stipends, onsite gym access, wellness programs, an EAP, and daily meal stipends/stocked kitchens support day-to-day wellbeing and reduce friction during in-office days. Such investments can aid recovery and help keep routine days manageable.
  • Workload Manageability: Practices that minimize unnecessary meetings and promote tight trader–engineer collaboration aim to keep work focused during core hours, with routine overtime not typically expected. Evening or weekend work is described as infrequent and usually tied to executing changes.
