Alpharetta, Georgia, United States
I am now working with a new team in Alpharetta in the US, which I think really highlights that RELX is a truly global company with lots of opportunities.
When I first joined RELX, within Reed Business Information, as a Graduate Software Developer in London, I was initially working on one of our internal systems which handles the access and entitlements for some of our public facing websites.
After six months, I transitioned onto a new team working on one of our paid content platforms, where I was fortunate enough to travel to China several times to work in collaboration with one of our out-sourcing development partners.
This later led to me being given the opportunity to embark on a three-year secondment in one of our Shanghai offices. This was a truly enriching experience both in and out of work.

One of the things that I like most about working for RELX is that I am provided with a great working environment that also allows me to have a good work-life balance.
A great example of this is that every employee is given two charity days each year, where they can take the day off work and do some volunteer activity to raise money for charity. This is not only a great way to give something back to the local community, but it also helps to build team spirit within the organisation.
