Pros: Working on a product with potential.

Cons: - Very bad onboarding and off-boarding. Onboarding to the code base was around 10 minutes. - Most of the things related to the codebase are not documented anywhere, and there are no team-wide engineering or communication practices. - Huge gap between Android and iOS teams; - Bad communication skills from managers. Goals, tasks, and deadlines are not explained clearly. - Feedbacks are ignored. - Blame culture. - Lot of evening meetings and no respect for work-life balance. - Overseas communication. - Awful health insurance that does not cover many important things. - Lot of egos and unwillingness to solve the problems.

Pros: 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.

Pros: Great WLB and a generally calm environment.

Cons: High growth always comes with growing pains.
