> I was previously in a FAANG where the only tool was the internal messaging platform, which in my opinion, left a lot to be desired.

Were you previously at Amazon and the internal messaging platform, Amazon Chime?

As far as I know:

* Facebook employees use “Workplace, by Facebook”

* Apple employees use different things, from iMessage to Slack

* Microsoft employees use Microsoft Teams

* Amazon employees use Amazon Chime and Slack

* Netflix employees mostly use Slack

* Google employees use Google Chat




Chime has been replaced internally at Amazon with Slack as of a couple of years ago for everything but video/audio calls, at least on the AWS side.


I have to use Chime about twice a month to interact with our AWA cloud (govcloud) support.

I’m not usually the type to be so opinionated about software I don’t power-use, but: it’s awful.


In the CDO business I left earlier this year, Slack was making inroads to A/V calls as well (though Chime was still dominant)


It was the same on the Consumer side organization I was in when I was there.


Google uses Chat
