I have worked with (managed) 6 colleagues from Colombia while I working for a multi-national corporation (one of the big 4 advertising firms). In the same company, I also worked with 12+ coworkers from India. I have to say that I found my colleagues in Colombia just as talented and motivated as the ones in India. In fact, because the coworkers from Colombia are direct hires, I have an easier time managing them as opposed to the coworkers in India, who are from a contract firm. Like others have said here, the timezone difference makes things easier too. I still am in contact with 4 of my ex-coworkers in Colombia because I knew that one day, I might want to have my own business and I would hire them all without hesitation.
