My experience with my team in India is the same as jonnyquests. Don't expect them to think the way you do. Explain each step exactly how you want it done. If you leave it up to them, 99% of the time will be a bit off. I tried for over a year to encourage and support individual effort and thought but, in the end I gave up because I really didn't see any progress. Our experience has came to this conclusion, we spent more time on project management, functional specs, tech specs, but save money on actual dev time. We could pretty much have them redo the project 5 times for what it would cost to do it state side. The only factor to watch out for is time. if you can afford the time to test and debug/tweak then it can be good. but tight deadlines, I don't recommend unless you've got a lot of experience with the team and how it's going to go.
BTW... their prices are a little on the high side
