    - when they get interviewed they are on a conf call with MUTE
    - if they cant do the above - there is another guy in another room on google or with 3 other of the "senior" people
    - they will bid the lowest for projects as they know for a fact that they can throw in [back then] 15+ people for every one in the UK
    - if they dont have the skills they dont have an issue in poaching from another Indian company - competition from the top 5 over their in India is fierce and generally techies can play each other off.

    thats all I remember - but im sure theres others

    maybe there able to provide worker's who are able to use apostrophe's and capital letter's correctly

    You're not in a position to judge others when you can't even write English correctly.

      I was working for a virtualisation company in the Summer that was looking to get bought out. THey were approached by an Indian company who had several meetings with the directors to find out about the business. They then (wrongly) thought that the support monkey who works there was the key to the business and knew all the client systems and technical details. THey then approached him to move over and bring all the documentation and talk the clients into moving over with him. This guy is Indian and told me he wouldn't work for an Indian company as he doesn't trust Indian executives - said they will always cheat!!

It seemed as though they had won a bid for some work by undercutting everyone without having any clue about how to do the work.
              And they think that is enough to make them a contracting agency? Oh, no, surely not?
