Vantaggi

As someone who has worked in various departments and teams across OUP for nearly 10 years, I can confidently say that, for better or for worse, your experience here is largely what you make of it. I see some employees, usually younger ones, get frustrated when no one drops the next step of their career into their lap, even when they're working hard. It just doesn't work that way here. If you take control of your own career development, create your own opportunities, and proactively pursue what you want, there are opportunities for growth here, but you have to go out and get them. This can work out quite postively: at the moment, I'm in a role that didn't exist until I proposed it to my manager and demonstrated its value against a very real business need. Some companies might offer a more regimented career ladder, but those same companies might not allow the degree of self-determination that a company like OUP can offer, given its size and global scope.

Svantaggi

That being said, I do think OUP's one major flaw (at least within the US) is HR. I don't necessarily mean the individual staff members (there are some real gems), but more just its general structure and ethos. To be honest, I've never seen an HR department that is so at odds with its company's staff, occasionally verging on antagonistic. Specifically, everything surrounding the processes of recruitment, creating a new position, promoting an exisiting person, raising someone's salary, etc.--everything in that area needs to be much more flexible, efficient, and transparent, and, at least in its current form, US HR doesn't seem to be capable of handling important and sensitive issues like these very gracefully. I truly think this would remove the majority of the negative comments on here. It would also be nice to have an HR department that, even just in spirit, felt as though it were on the employees' side instead of being an oppositional force all the time.
