Originally posted by original PM View PostI think in all of this it is important to recognise that the behaviour of the indians in the off shoring firms only exist because of the companies they work for.
The first thing to recognise is that the sole interest of these firms is to make money out of you - they do not care about your project, your company or your goals - they will make as much money out of you and will happily crap on your project if it means they can get an extra few days consultancy out of it.
These guys you are talking to are given a cut of every single extra days consultancy they can screw out of you by insisting it is a change request to a spec you agreed over a crackly line to indian at 6 am 6 months ago.
The company I am with spanked 5 million with IBM - while 5 million seems a lot of money to companies such as IBM it is peanuts - probably less than that and they will happily hoover up that 5 million in green fees etc before you even write a line of code.
My brother works for a large global corp who are replacing their global billing platform - that project is running into the 100's of millions and they get good service - go figure.
The reason you are starting to see it from some of our eastern european friends is not because they have changed but because they now work for companies with cultures as described above.
So moral of the story - unless you are going to spend 100's of millions of quids do not use IBM or any other large company who does 'IT consultancy and offshoring'
They are and always have been lovely to work with."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Oh and instead of B**s they should be called COWs. Cheap Overseas Workers. They also do tend to arrive in herds."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Seriously, when you start to ban words or swap them for words that take their meaning it's a slippery slop.
Don't like Cow, if I call someone a stupid cow I don't want to be accused of being racist.Comment
