For me, the secret was to stop looking at teams, and start looking at individuals.

We found extremelly talented people that were underpaid, dislocated and suffocated by a toxic and outdated culture.

I always thought this. However, it seems like this would require a lot of direct management. Who was the PM for you - was it you? if not, was she/he local to the devs? What was your timezone?

My struggle with offshoring to India (from PST) is that the nearly opposite timezone affords minimal overlaps, and thus either the offshore personnel or the local person managing would have crappy hours.
