> It's kind of sad that you imply that people who just live according to their culture are "less good", or "cheaper", or "less experienced".
Not sure how you got this from what I wrote.
I was responding directly to -
"..The culture is totally different and IMO not conducive to innovation, critical thinking and constructive feedback - it is the opposite..."
I was trying to say don't look down condescendingly on other cultures and expect to develop a great working relationship. Experience with different teams and people gives you cultural awareness, where you learn how to motivate, communicate with different people effectively.
Anyway, all I can say is I have worked with multiple teams from different countries and cultures, and haven't had the challenging experience you mention. So, when you use your personal experience to make a generalized claim, I feel its inaccurate.
So, felt compelled to leave a comment. I am not looking to change your opinion though.
