Does anyone have stocks in the company they work for? I’ve avoided joining because of interest and I was wondering if there are other alternatives.

I don't but have had in the past. I just don't know much about stocks and all of that so I don't really like the option of stocks when starting a new role. I always try to see if I can negotiate a higher base rather than having company stocks.

Aren’t stocks considered part of compensation? You can hold them and sell as soon as they vest if there’s concerns about interest - though I’m a bit confused how there’s interest associated with it. RSUs are like any asset such as land/property which increase/decrease in value but are yours once they vest. You’re not “loaning” any amount (particularly to any individual) so the concept of interest doesn’t seem to apply?

If you're talking about Accenture stock, why not? You should be getting a 10-15% discount on the market price. Simplistically, you're already ahead.

Now if you're saying," I can't invest in my company stock bc they have debt" that's different. If it's this train of thought, realize that ALL companies have debt in varying amounts. even the "halal" ETFs have invested in companies with debt. So do your own due diligence before investing.
