        Never seen a project that went offshore get finished.

        It has always been taken back onshore and fixed before going live.

        They are mostly useless.

          For application maintenance or for production support quite some savings could be achieved if managed well. But development no, I have never seen a succesful case either, unless the whole process, including the analysis and management is outsourced in which case perhaps...

                Agree with this. In my previous role I was working alongside Tech - XXXXXXXX and I tell you it was SCARY! It was all about ass kissing the hiring managers and project managers and getting THEIR people onsite at the expense of the UK contractors. But I had witnessed some dire stuff! Programmers which came from India and once they found out they were tulip - they were just kept there and more were added in the mindset that 2 tulip people are better than one!

                  I may know who you're referring to, in which case I used to work for them (about 4 years ago) in a UK based business unit.
                  Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

                    LOL dude - they phoned me up yesterday for a role! I kid you not. Some girl from India with a UK mobile number to call back. THEN - she starts haggling on a rate - so I just simply said it wouldnt interest me told her I wouldnt want to waste her time - then the usual "so how much would you consider!" - anyway long story short she wanted to put me forward for my rate and see what happens. I mean wtf?

                    Another was funny - team of 5 VMware guys - came in to design a test platform on ESX3 - took them 7 months!! 5 guys 7 months! I was reading the documentation - well guess where it was lifted from.

                    So how was your time with them?
