After about a half decade of observing big corporations switch to Figma instead of Sketch+InVision+Zeppelin+Anima, I can confidently say corporations aren’t seeing much time saved. I actually think Figma is wasting more time versus Sketch. Because now everyone and their mother is poking around work files and junior designers now have a disproportionate influence on how work is presented to senior leadership

That's a process and governance issue, not a tool issue

If a tool is undermining processes and ways of working that’s a failure of leadership/ownership.

I’ll be the first to admit that Figma has its shortcomings but the collaborative process between disciplines is extremely valuable in terms of both working and efficiency.

There’s a reason there are levels of access such as view / edit.

Those need to be utilized properly and established as early as possible.

It shouldn’t be a Wild West sandbox, but it also shouldn’t be a walled garden.

If either of those scenarios happen, it isn’t the fault of Figma.

When they say utilization doesn't count for the month of May/June what exactly does that entail? I'm assuming being on the bench for those months will still show on personal utilization reports...

I am writing this message besides the staff group of EY GDS. Specifically Staff -1 at assurance level. I would request everyone to spare few minutes and read it -

Wanted to bring out that staff-1's are paid peanuts (3.33L CTC) please don't expect them to slog 12-13 hours. They don't have enough motivation or incentives to work that long. Seniors,AM's and Managers should be more kind and explain the work to them clearly rather than making last minute changes.
