Unless they make a serious commitment, open large offices (a la HQ2) and ensure proper employee career progression, workers overseas will still suffer from the "satellite office effect". Managers will deny it but from my experience and anectdata career opportunities are simply much better in the main offices. Colleagues in sister teams in the US work on more interesting projects, and get promoted 2-3 times more. Unless I'm convinced I'll have the same career opportunities here I could in the US, staying won't be a long term option.
