TCS or Accenture: Better option after Engineering (Instrumentation Technology)?

I am currently in a final year engineering (Instrumentation Technology branch).

I got campus recurited to both TCS and Accenture

I am in a dilemma regarding which one to choose.

I have found that both companies have their (+) and (-)

TCS:
(+):
Excellent Job Security
Kind of easy job(Popularly known as People's Company )
(-):
Growth and Exposure is less
Risk of getting into Bench/ waiting list


Accenture:
(+):
Almost no bench/waiting (Bench rate is around 2% when compared to 30+ in TCS)
Growth and Exposure is good
Challenging Job

(-):
Less job security when compared to TCS; If slowdown occurs then they will mercilessly fire
Screening occurs periodically.

So guys which one to choose ?
Am i right in above facts?
Any guidance/advice ?

Any experience in working in either of the companies ?

PS: I will get offer letter within one month from Accenture. TCS will usually take a lot of time before they give offer letter(Last year batch got offer letter during November-December )

Any help is appreciated

I would say go for Accenture, I am currently working with TCS from 3+ years and as per my experience I would say you should go for Accenture. Don't worry about Layoffs and all, it rarely happens at fresher level.
