What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Simplex Trading?

What People Are Saying About Simplex Trading

  • Time Off Access: Generous PTO, paid holidays/sick days, bereavement, and even sabbatical leave are explicitly offered, with flexibility to take time away once role expectations are met. Convenience perks like daily meal stipends help preserve personal time by reducing day‑to‑day friction.
  • Wellbeing Programs: Wellness initiatives include a fitness stipend, access to an onsite gym, and broader wellbeing programs, complemented by stocked kitchens and daily meal stipends. These supports aim to reduce stressors and make in‑office days more sustainable.
  • Workload Manageability: Unnecessary meetings are minimized and employees have autonomy/ownership, which helps keep workloads manageable when markets are calm. Tighter trader–engineer loops and rapid cycles emphasize focus on meaningful work over bureaucracy.
