Pros

My time at Oura so far has been fantastic. I was nervous about starting a new job remotely but everyone has been super helpful and a lot of thought has been put into onboarding of new employees. I've managed to meet so many new people and every conversation I have I learn something new - there is so much incredible work going on here. Through the interview process I got to learn about Oura's mission and values which really resonated with me. Since joining it's become clear that those are not just words, the company and the individuals who work here really believe in the work we are doing. It's so refreshing to work somewhere where the goal is to have a real positive impact on peoples wellness and their lives. I find senior leadership to be very open and transparent and they have laid out a clear vision of what is to come for us.

Cons

Honestly, no cons as far as I see it. The company is growing fast and we have a lot of work to do so need to continue to hire good people.

Pros

Great benefits, growing company with lots of opportunities.

Cons

Management struggles to align on priorities, which creates a constantly shifting environment with unclear direction and success metrics. Teams are often given contradictory guidance or asked to pivot without context, making it difficult to execute effectively or plan with confidence. There is also a concerning pattern in how feedback is handled. Feedback often appears to be based on assumptions rather than concrete examples or evidence. When employees raise reasonable concerns or ask for clarity, it is sometimes reframed as negativity or labeled as contributing to a “toxic environment.” This shifts focus away from the underlying issues such as lack of alignment and communication and places it on individuals instead. Over time, this dynamic discourages open dialogue and reduces trust. Teams become more focused on managing perception than delivering outcomes, which ultimately impacts morale, efficiency, and overall performance.
