Accenture is one of the very few companies who does not believe in losing precious manpower after investing large amount in their training. The hiring and inductions costs itself is so high that they pick the best fit candidate and do everything possible to retain employees.
Even during the 2008 recession, Accenture did not terminate a single employee due to lack of business. ACN in fact used that opportunity to tweak some delivery costing variables, and started focusing more on optimal process delivery..which is why employees generally complain about packed workdays(~7 hrs of production), while their friends in other companies (including those orgns who lay off employees w.o reasons) may have only 3~4 hrs of serious work in a day.
