BeeR Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) So I'm seeing/hearing anyway - agree/disagree? A couple example links FWIW: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/tec...say_intern.html http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123896998996190775.html Oh and cue the Indian jokes Edited June 23, 2010 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I can say that every experience I've had with them has been negative. Not just as a customer dealing with call centers but one of my customers at work has all of their IT outsourced to an Indian company and they are an absolute joke. Their contract keeps getting renewed though, I'm guessing cost must be the deciding factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt770 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Oh and cue the Indian jokes I love the one about the man scratching the dot off his wife's forehead to see if he won a dry cleaner or 7-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaterMan Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 It could be on the decline, but many American IT guys are being laid off from the phone companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 No Dallas sucks, the Redskins are just a joke. Try to stay on topic...we're talking Indians here...not Cowboys. I say again, Redskins and their Indian-racist fans suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I can say that every experience I've had with them has been negative. Not just as a customer dealing with call centers but one of my customers at work has all of their IT outsourced to an Indian company and they are an absolute joke. Their contract keeps getting renewed though, I'm guessing cost must be the deciding factor. I have fired two outsourced developer firms because their work was just total rubbish. Since we replaced the seven offshore developers with three in house, our throughput and quality has gone through the roof. I could go on and on about this subject but I know for a fact that almost everyone I've spoken to about any kind of offshore outsourcing has experienced the same thing - crap work, rework, poor coding, lousy response, massive personnel churn and on and on. In house employee > Infinite number of offshore contractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Worked with plenty here in the states and actually my experience w/them has been very good on the whole - hard-working, polite, soft spoken, intelligent, humble. Very anti-ghetto. But the offshore people's comm. skills were routinely so poor that it cost us who knows how much in man-hours pissed away and projects, implementations etc delayed. Curious way to save a buck. Edited June 23, 2010 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 My job was outsourced to India. I hope they never bring it back those scuzzy bassturds deserve all the rotten, underpriced f'ed up work that the Indians will be producing for them. I hated working with them before I lost my job, for all the reasons that Ursa documented above, I hope my old company continues to get bled dry by their foolish decision.
