Accenture's whole game is acquiring niche businesses, wringing the life out of the acquired employees and outsourcing the jobs to India.
I've been through it with them when the small high tech IP Consulting firm (150+ employees + 200 contractors) I worked for was acquired by Accenture in 2007.
It was absolutely miserable working for Accenture over the next several years before I left. I worked around the clock and was on the road constantly. It's a professional sweatshop.
The only upside was that the Employee Stock I purchased has significantly grown in value over the years and represent a significant portion of my retirement portfolio.
In summary, working for Accenture was like working for blood money.
