> The best Indian engineers aren't working at these body shops, instead it's the bottom of the barrel and all of them are looking to either get promoted quickly or get out just as fast. As a result it's a revolving door of "resources" (urgh corp speak) that have to constantly be brought up to speed.
You could say as much for any IT body shop worldwide. "Indian" can be treated as a variable in your sentence.
- youngtaff 3y agoYep, for most large companies building their own capabilities is far more effective than outsourcing
- dickersnoodle 3y agoYou could, but you'd be wrong. I've worked with outsourced devs from India, Ukraine, Russia and the 'stans and hands down the worst experiences have been with ones from India. The individual devs, when I could drill down, were bright and capable and with enough experience under their belts would be the equal of devs anywhere; the companies, however, very much had a "turn 'em and burn 'em" approach that meant any domain knowledge went out the door. I'm convinced it's a cultural/management thing. They seemed to be trained and actively managed to wait for explicit instructions for what to do instead of taking initiative and communicating it. (DISCLAIMER: This is just my own experience. Others' mileage may vary.)
