It's a fast agile landscape with great opportunities for career development. The support network is great when you need it.

I'm taking early retirement next week in order to focus on other life interests, but can genuinely say that RELX has been the best private company I've worked for throughout my career with respect to colleagues, opportunities and overall work culture.

We work flexibly and follow hybrid working

Intelligence, collaboration and appetite for problem solving

Investment in D&I initiatives and gaining feedback

Being given the space to solve problems

The amount of annual leave

Being given the space to do a good job

I've met colleagues from all nationalities and learnt a lot as a result.

Relatively flat and approachable hierarchy and the MD genuinely cares about diversity and inclusivity.

They don't micro manage, rather they brief me and let me get on with the solution

They're the most talented software engineers I've ever worked with. Their collaboration is fantastic to behold

They are approachable and invested in RSGs D&I initiatives. They also have a clear plan to return EG to profitability.

It values diversity and it's increasingly being reflected in the workforce (but not so much as you go up the ladder)

Not only knowledgeable, but happy to share their knowledge and collaborate with other colleagues - no-one in ivory towers. Genuinely innovative with a view to continuous improvement.

Delivering high quality products that meet the needs of our customer base, and doing it in a fair, equitable and inclusive way compared to our more voracious and litigious competitor.

I'm lucky enough to have been able to join the REPS scheme when I started and benefit from 29 days a year leave. This was the prime factor in joining the company, to manage childcare while children were still going through school.
