What is it like to work in the ICIS UX Team?

The ICIS UX Team is a close-knit and supportive group of UX Designers, UI Designers and UX Researchers.

We run regular team meetings like our daily catchup and our weekly Design Crit to stay connected and provide feedback on each other's work.

We also regularly present to the wider business to celebrate all of the great research and design the team has delivered.

ICIS is part of the UX community at RELX, our parent company, which has 100s of UX Researchers and Designers working across a range of sectors.

The RELX UX community offers a range of opportunities to collaborate and hosts in-person and online UX meetups throughout the year.

What is the working pattern like?

The UX team believes in the flexibility of homeworking, but also in the value of face-to-face collaboration. The whole team goes into the office on the same day once a week.

We make good use of this time by running interactive sessions, going out to lunch and generally spending time together.
