Pros

Sumo Logic's Log Data Analytics / Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring provides some value to it's customers and while not a new capability overall it was in a few ways unique, being subscription/cloud native/elastic but in the view of too many customer's and prospects not enough to warrant the cost. Also have to say, there are many very good individuals who contributed here.

Cons

As a long time veteran of enterprise software sales I can honestly say this is the most unethical organization I have ever encountered. Stated with no hyperbole, the churn in the sales organization was simply absurd; wildly unprecedented to my knowledge. It's also IMHO a most offensively "cult like" culture. In addition I witnessed a total commitment to unethical behavior in dealings with customers and salespeople alike. (The bait and switch was hard coded into the sales compensation plan by design and with intent specific to compensation on subscriptions). I could say more, but I'll end by saying I was actually a sales leader tracking 100% of quota but still felt it was 100% necessary to leave.

Pros

As Enterprise Sales jobs go, nothing special here other than you receive a paycheck. Oh, one day a quarter is Wellness Day which is a friday off from work.

Cons

This is not an enterprise sales organization. Far from it, Two RIF's this year alone. One last year and one massive one in 2022 where they cut 80% of the sellers because the company was not making its number. This is a leadership team that blames the weatherman for forecasting rain on your wedding date. Instead of doing something about the old and dated and disconnected set of products and mixed message to the user community they instead assume the sellers are the problem and assign PG Tuesday as one remedy. The SDR's do not produce leads. They cannot decide if Sumo is a logs company, or an observability company or SIEM/SOAR company. And this manifests itself in the market. GTM sales decks completely miss the mark with nonsense that any C Level would scoff at. When we lose a deal you would think the CRO or leadership would care to find out why! Nope. no calls or forensics. just another deal lost. Stay away. You will not make your number and will not make any money.
