Furthermore they compared Prague to other “offshore” development locations like India and said that due to high turnover in India and a high “no show” rate for new hires it’s hard to give them real product assignments versus simpler projects.

The workforce in Prague however has the combination of technical prowess and professionalism to build real products.

And of course at this point Prague also offers all those important amenities like good restaurants and excellent health clubs!
