Process
I applied online.
STAR-type questions were relatively easy to answer. The interviewers probed deep into the specific problems and asked scenario-type questions. They came late into all calls. Some of them were very unenthusiastic in the interview process. Weeks after the interview, they didn't even have the courtesy to thank me for my time even if they were not proceeding. The interview itself was not difficult, and I thought it went very well. It's okay if they decide not to proceed, but I am quite annoyed that they can't even send a courtesy email weeks post-interview since I spent time giving the interview.
Questions
There were STAR-type questions based on experience, and the interviewer probed further.

Oura Work Experiences
- 5.0Great working placeEngineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, CAFebruary 5, 2023Pros: Fantastic product, great colleagues, and positive impact on our customers; it feels like a rocket going up, and great opportunities to learn.Cons: Work can be demanding; and remote work means that you will have late and early calls with offices worldwide.
- 2.0Started out as a good place with good culture... but things are eroding fastEngineer • Current EmployeeSan Diego, CAAugust 13, 2025Pros: Company has good values. CEO has great vision, communicates, and motivates. Hybrid work. Good product that helps people.Cons: Bad middle management. Authoritarian and micro-managing. Engineering by committee. No autonomy given to individuals. No freedom to be creative and come up with new ways of doing things better and more efficiently. Bad work-life balance. Eroding culture and morale as a result of bringing in new management that is authoritarian, narcissistic, and micro-managing.
- 5.0Great product + Excellent people = Awesome companyEngineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, CAFebruary 16, 2023Pros: Interesting and challenging work. Good salary and benefits. Great people, peers, and managers. They really care about the product, the people, the users, and their health.Cons: Like many smaller companies that are still basically a startup, Oura has a somewhat dynamic environment. New people join, some (very few) leave, and direction and priorities change more quickly than at the "dinosaur" companies I worked at. However, during 2022/2023, with about 500 FTEs, there is a noticeable improvement in stability and forward-looking plans.
