Not passing judgement on Benjamin's company, but one thing to watch is what
I call the slight of hand trick. Some outsourcing companies will "wow" you
with their technical talent but after you sign the contracts; you end up
with people with little training.
Becareful with your contracts!
You don't always get trained people and I have heard many people complain
about "sure they are there but they either don't care about the company or
they mess things up worst then they were...."
Just my .02
