I would avoid ACN, the culture is toxic.

like

Uncle D is toxic because it’s a uniform culture. You either fit in or you don’t whereas ACN you have to learn to fit in based on the culture of your project/ MD.

Fwiw - Accenture is the only place which announced significant promos & bonuses. Lay offs are sad reality not only at ACN but across the board. Not pitching you to continue the process, just making you realize if you start cutting down on firms for lay off news, you would hardly be left with any option in this market.

Good luck

The practices that had layoffs will not usually be the ones hiring (the growing practices are allowed to grow, the struggling ones slim down) so you should be fine.

Just received a verbal offer from ACN which I’m going to take! If you’re looking at federal/govt, they are expanding like crazy. Layoffs are really only hitting low performers and some in non-govt consulting. My recruiter even asked if I have more recs of who else they can talk to since they want to hire so many more

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
