Benefits
We have you covered
At Ardelyx, we are dedicated to advancing patient care, and that begins with caring for our people. We offer a comprehensive benefits program to support the health, well-being, and success of our employees and their families.
Health & Well-Being
We offer multiple medical plan options to allow our employees to choose what works best for them and their families — including a PPO, an HDHP, and a Kaiser HMO option for California-based employees. We also offer access to a Health Savings Account with a company contribution. Other benefits include dental and vision coverage.
Flexible Working Model
We have a highly flexible working model meant to support the unique needs of our organization, as well as our people. Depending on the role, our team has the ability to work remotely or opt for a hybrid approach and work out of one of our offices in Waltham, MA, Fremont, CA, or Milwaukee, WI.
Discretionary Time Off
Our Flexible Time Off policy supports the needs of our team and does not require employees to accrue hours prior to taking the time they need. We also have a generous paid holiday schedule with 11 holidays throughout the year and a one-week annual Winter Holiday Shutdown.
Paid Leave
At Ardelyx, we are proud to support our team with a 12 week Paid Parental Leave Policy for birth of a child, adoption, surrogacy, and foster care. As a patient-centric organization, we’re also pleased to offer a Living Organ and Bone Marrow Donor Leave Policy, so that any employee who chooses to be a donor feels supported and can rest and recover before returning to work.
Financial Benefits
We offer competitive base and incentive compensation, and all full-time employees are offered equity as restricted stock units and/or stock options. We also offer a 401K with an employer match program and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), providing an opportunity for employees to purchase our stock at a discount.
Other Benefits
We offer a variety of other benefits to assist our employees, including employer-paid life insurance/AD&D, employer-paid short and long-term disability insurance, and voluntary plans including the MetLife Legal Plan, secure travel, survivor assurance, and more.
“The atmosphere at Ardelyx is all about unity and knowing that combining your effort and dedication will lead to a positive impact on the lives of our patients. That aspect makes it extremely motivating.”
— Sindy Wan, Senior Director, Facilities
