What People Are Saying About Simplex Trading

  • Time Off Access: Policies include generous PTO, paid holidays and sick leave, bereavement and sabbatical options, with flexibility to take time off once role expectations are met. Parental leave and performance-tied time away further support accessible downtime.
  • Wellbeing Programs: Wellness initiatives include a fitness stipend, onsite gym access, an EAP, and broader wellness programs. Stocked kitchens and daily meal stipends reduce day-to-day friction and make in-office days more sustainable.
  • Workload Manageability: Work practices emphasize minimizing unnecessary meetings, tight trader–engineer collaboration, and employee autonomy and ownership. Role descriptions note infrequent evening/weekend work to execute changes, signaling focus on meaningful work over routine overtime.
