Every coin has two sides

Like Venkat has pointed out, there are some companies in India that tries to get work done without spending sufficient time on it. In the end, the programmers who work 12-14 hours a day end up doing work that is not up to the mark.

But, there are other companies in India that does not fit the typical 'cheap' software producer image. You can find that they do a very, very excellent job.

India has a very high number of companies that have implemented high standards like CMM-I.

Of course, if you go to the cheapest vendor, you are likely to get software that is not documented, reviewed, or tested. My personal experience is that there are a lot of talented IT professionals in India. And, I have worked on US based as well as Europe-based projects/products. There have never been a case when the work quality was below par. In fact, it was the other way round.
