I work remotely, and I use Slack to keep an open dialog with my team. I used HipChat before that. They both have their upsides for this use case, but I think that it's basically a great tool for what I'm doing. I can easily see how wide use of Slack at a large company could get overwhelming quickly, but that's not so much Slack's fault (HipChat would do the same thing) as much as a general probelm of communication.
