Pros

Firstly do not believe those positive reviews, they are 100% fake, this company a few months ago when filtered by NY was BELOW 2 stars and now suddenly there are all these positive reviews! Please scroll through all the reviews to get the real picture. There is no one currently employed in this organization outside of the UK with a positive outlook. The only positive is benefits, not salary. There is no other Pro to joining this organization.

Cons

Since April of 2020 they have either laid-off or terminated dozens or possibly close to 100 employees. Some employees close to retirement, so for them finding a new job at this age is almost impossible. There have even been entire departments terminated. Now there are almost 2 dozen employees either terminated or jobs outsourced to a company in India named Newgen. If offered a job here vs taking unemployment I would take unemployment; a number of people have been laid off and have not even had 1 year which disqualified them for unemployment benefits. This is corporate crime beyond comprehension.

I am saddened to read your review, and assure you that we value each and every employee at OUP. We never take any decisions around redundancies lightly but, like all businesses, from time to time, we need to make changes to our organization. We have sought to provide as much support as we can during these difficult times. If you would like to share your concerns and speak to me directly, I encourage you to email me at ola.ogunsanya@oup.com. Best, Ola Ogunsanya, Regional Head of HR for the Americas
