Agree 100%. 20yrs ago I worked with multiple teams from India, and we always seemed to have language, skill, and expectation gaps ("the work is done" did not always mean it was done). Now, the India teams are very skilled, speak good/great English, and the expectation gaps are much closer.
As you said, "be careful what you wish for"...
- JohnFen 4y agoA decade ago, I worked on a team that was half in India and half local to me (in the US). There was no problem with skills, language, etc. at all. But the time difference was a constant and pretty large issue. If you wanted to have a live meeting, it meant that someone was going to have to be working at a problematic hour.
- rtp4me 4y agoAgreed on the time issue. Even with Israeli engineering teams, their work week starts on Sunday and ends on Thursday. Thus, you are given a 4-day collaboration week.
