I think their core problem is that they moved so fast and they don't have defensible and unique product. They grabbed people off the street and attempted to turn them into coders. That can't work! Engineers are not made in the classrooms(diligent message) but people with great ability and curiosity. This kind of mentality cannot be developed when they package IT and DevOp as shortest cut to enormous wealth. I would not blame Andela for everything happening out there. Most of the developers have never worked with US based companies before. They don't understand the rigor, efficiency, and cold blooded capitalism of such enterprises. Capitalism hears one message, and that message is profit and value creation for shareholders. I see opportunities for the continent if they try to develop locally and solve local problems. Why can't Andela pivot to consultancy and compete with the likes of Wipro and Tata? Disclaimer: I am African(live there) and I have no relationship with Andela.
