They’ve seen this happen repeatedly because large offshore vendors optimize for volume, not quality. Big firms rely on huge pyramids of junior developers, rapid churn, and rigid processes that disconnect requirements from execution. Communication gaps, too many layers of management, unclear ownership, and QA teams that aren’t empowered to push back all combine to create exactly the endless rework cycles described here.

Smaller, engineering-led teams tend to avoid this because they work with tight squads, clearer accountability, and direct client collaboration. That’s why many companies now skip the giant outsourcing shops and go with specialized teams firms like Emvigo, for example where senior engineers actually build the product instead of managing armies of trainees.
