I'm going to tread close to generalizations here, but this is my experience and so obviously is limited: I hadn't had much direct experience working with Indian emigrants to the US until a valley company acquired my employer who was located in the midwest. My experience before that was working with some random outsourcing companies, those experiences were very poor, at best. So I was surprised how easy it was working with the team I ended up working with, they were very capable, responsible, and I found I could trust them. In fact they seemed to prefer working with those of us in the midwest vs their valley counterparts (there was some tension there for a variety of reasons, some I suspect I wasn't aware of). I had assumed there would be cultural kinda issues to overcome / learn and understand, but I honestly found the Indian immigrants to the US easier to work with than some European teams I worked with. I don't know what the dynamic is, maybe just what the article describes years of folks going to work in the US provides everyone with enough background to work well together, but it was certainly a positive experience.
