      Hired me for software engineering, smartly put us all in maintainence work making it sound like insights group.ultimately with passing time, skill set kept growing down and we land up in this situation of being unsure of what we know in our skills.

      Advice to Management

      Stop playing politics with the employees who are sincere in their work, giving unexpected hike to peers and showing that you are the best.

      2. Too much attrition is happening
      3. It's panic in every office across regions
      4. There is no direction to Shanghai office
      5. Over 60 people have been asked to leave in order to curb costs
      6. Hardly any leadership left
      7. They keep trying to sell their good for nothing in-house software on which spent millions in vain
      8. Several people have been left stranded
      9. No future.
      10. People trying to seek refuge wherever possible

      And the list on.....

      Advice to Management

      New CEO - Please have some sense of direction and try to explain more of your actions and give some visibility to the employees.
      What happened to the transparency promises that were made while you had taken over?
