RELX Interview Guide
Everything we know about interviewing at RELX: the process stage by stage, what each round tests, and compensation by level.
Interviewing at RELX
What the process looks like, and what RELX is really testing for.
You should expect a multi-stage process that combines recruiter screening with technical and competency checks. Across roles, the interview topics are dominated by Java, QA Engineering, analytics, algorithms and problem solving, and role-specific domains like product and sales strategy.
What they actually test comes through the topic mix. You will see assessments or discussions that touch Java, QA Engineering and testing, SDLC, analytics, and algorithms and problem solving. For non-engineering roles in the dataset, the same “technical skills” framing shows up as case study analysis, technical skills for sales strategy and planning or account territory planning, and technical skills for product management.
From candidate reports, the process appears to lean medium difficulty overall, with 57.4% medium and 29.0% easy. The aggregated offer rate in the dataset is 0.0%, so your main job is to treat every stage as a performance evaluation and make sure your preparation matches the listed topic areas.
The topic distribution is unusually concentrated: Java, QA Engineering, analytics, and product or project management fundamentals each show up at the top percentile levels, so you will likely be evaluated against specific technical foundations, not just role generic fit.
