Why yes:
1) Cost. Companies big and small in the US hire overseas to reduce development costs.
2) Access to talent. In a tight market, getting the right people in the US is often too hard.
Why not:
1) difference in work culture. There's often a big gap in expectations from the businesses perspective.
2) differences in communication style: Even when the expectations are aligned, different communication styles (e.g., candid vs coded) can lead to frustrations.
3) lack of infrastructure. I passed on some highly recommended people because when we got a video call, their internet connection was not good enough for us to have a conversation.
