We’ve been on it a couple years. It has worked really well to unite our practice around silliness, news, learning, achievements, etc. It can be challenging to feel connected, with everyone being distributed across clients.

Are you guys using it at EY?

Does everyone use it on mobile? I feel like the contacts pings require more immediate attention than an email in some ways which makes it more stressful

It's ok. I like Atlassian's stuff way better, more in line with how I like to work

Downvote OP. Bad take. Slack rocks.

@c1 lol, it might be for the right use cases, as a Yammer alternative but not meant for consulting engagements where we can’t say/share confidential stuff, requires people to deal with another platform in addition to chat, mail. I get that kids like it because it seems fun but from a work benefit perspective, it’s a hassle

Love slack!

You say kids to dismiss technology that is not only well passed proof of concept, but is used by many industries. History has never been on the side of technophobes

@bcg2 lol, you don’t who you’re calling technophobes. I’m dismissing people who claim it as great for what we do. I’m not dismissing the technology.

It is great for what we do, ya ol’ curmudgeon. It is plainly the best team communication platform. About 10% of my people don’t like it, don’t use it. But, they wouldn’t use ANY collab platform. They miss a lot.

You’re the best curmudgeon.

I think it’s hard to use. But maybe that’s because they gave people a FAQ, made it optional, and you can’t create your own project groups, so like what’s the point

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
