“I led a team of software engineers at Microsoft in India who were the help desk for large U.S. corporations. These were the cream of the crop. The Americans, the American side take things at face value, they don’t get curious and ask questions to get context, to get more facts. And my India tech guys and gals wouldn’t ask enough questions of the Americans.” – Luis Gonzales
