Sumo Logic Reviews

Pros

Incredible group of employees who challenged me and set a high performance standard. Was given plenty of responsibilities to demonstrate my skills and abilities.

Cons

No cons whatsoever, an amazing work place environment that I felt very fortunate to be a part of.

Pros

As other reviewers have commented, the culture below the C-suite is terrific. Still remnants of the strengths built into the company from early Sumo leadership (HR in particular through 2021) that brought and kept many of us here. The product is strong, due exclusively to acquiring companies with great technology, as there was virtually no innovation internally.

Cons

Company has been sold, taken private, for 50% of its IPO price, due to horrible leadership. It's such an embarrassing outcome. Even in a down stock market, our competitors are valued at 20-30X Sumo's pathetic valuation - yes, that's 20 to 30 times Sumo's value. For years there was no product strategy, incredibly weak leadership in engineering, sales. Including marketing executives (who vacation with the CEO, so their incompetence was ignored). Our CEO did nothing about it until it was too late (our new sales leadership is outstanding). Employees are getting hosed on stock value, but the executives will get millions as ALL of their stock will get paid out as part of the sale. If we'd had a strong, strategic CEO and exec team, we could have made this company fully competitive. It's so depressing to have helped build the company, take it through to IPO, then see it crash and burn, with a PE firm getting the technology for pennies on the dollar.

Pros

- Good company culture at the lower level - Product is best in class - Company has a lot of potential to be an industry leader - Flexible PTO policy

Cons

- Employees seem to be of little importance to C-suite. Got sold at $12.05 when IPO price was much higher than that. Most of the employees lost money in the transaction. - Communication is late minute, and half hearted - Salaries are well below industry standards - Management has backtracked on several commitments related to the business

Pros

I mean everything good about this company is falling down. 90% of the staff seem ready to quit. Leadership is suddenly more focused on selling out than building their people up.

Cons

For a company doing so well it feels like they can’t get out of their own way. There’s tremendous dysfunction across teams and especially with leadership and leaderships view of sales. Classic - sales people are replaceable mindset at this shop as leadership points fingers to figure out issues in accounts they don’t look at their own short comings.

Pros

good career path options available

Cons

no the best pay for abilities

Pros

- Good scope of work - Salary is good

Cons

- Upper Management is weak. There is an inability to identify and focus on key business objectives. They spread the resources to think about various different products, which eventually don't have any desired impact. - Understaffed. There is a lot of areas that are critically understaffed.

Pros

Great place to work / good benefits

Cons

Confusing growth timeline for promotions

Pros

Sumo Logic has been a fantastic place to work in my nearly 2 years here. The product and technology are world-class and essential for modern digital business, leadership does a good job of showing us where we are going and the wins along the way, the people we hire are talented and kind, and the company culture has been great throughout (covid-19, remote/hybrid, DEIB, work-life balance, benefits, unlimited pto, etc.)

Cons

Currently, we don't have a 401k match but I believe that could be offered soon. Turnover/attrition over the last year has been significant but is slowing and a positive to that is, there have been quite a few folks leaving only to boomerang back 6-12 months later.

Pros

Small company with a close knit employee base. Great potential for a growing cloud market

Cons

Sumo always takes a very cautious approach and senior management is very immature in judgements, direction and competitive stance.

Pros

Good product that is gaining headwind in the industry

Cons

Terrible management. I've seen sexism, two-faced, and blatant lying come from management. They have consistently strung people along to not give them opportunity for advancement. Guaranteed certain things and the outcome was the complete opposite. It is obvious the company had bad leadership from the top down because it reflects on management at the lower level. Overall, terrible place to start a career. Get out or find a new area that treats their employees with respect.
