Experienced hires are always at risk of layoffs at Accenture because they are not as well networked, get unknowingly taken advantage of by the old guard culture as there are so many things they don't know:
-
Tricks to survive,
-
Crony networks that can be hard to crack,
-
Behind the scenes HR analysis where they know it's hard for experienced hires to survive,
They don't get rated as well no matter what they deliver because of the old guard networks and lots of nepotism for the gang that has all been together for 20-30 years.
If layoffs are happening around you, you need to keep that resume up to date, keep your connections going externally, and whatever you do, don't panic.
There are far better companies to work for than Accenture.
A layoff could be the biggest gift you get from them if it comes with a package.
