The folks from InfoSys I've worked with have been less than impressive (the Windows driver expert who showed up on the first day of the contract gig with a couple of new books on writing Windows drivers under his arm, for instance).
The other H1Bs I've worked with have in general been good, often above average, and a few have been absolutely world class and people that I'd love to work with again . . . but the distribution is not what you'd expect for a program officially intended to fill in gaps of expertise and to supplement the US workforce where it is lacking otherwise unobtainable staff.
- venture_lol 10y agoIf you judge a professional because he or she showed up with books for their area of expertise, then you have ways to go still ... get out, see more of the world, get some perspective :)
- kabdib 10y agoReference material, fine. "Windows Drivers for Beginners", probably a bad sign, something that I confirmed in the first 5-10 minutes of working with the contractor in question. [I've been writing software for a living since the late 1970s, working on products that you've almost certainly heard of and some you've probably used, and I've got enough perspective and experience to be a pretty good judge of someone's level of expertise]
