US based companies AND Asian based companies?

I was liaison with several asian companies for the purposes of building computers (not the actual chips in this case). One of the reasons I believe is that I gave unfiltered opinion, with some tact. The biggest problem we were having is that some equipment would arrive for final testing with obvious flaws, and it became apparent that the testing cycle was performed by junior engineers while the design was performed by senior engineers and the junior engineers culturally could not bring themselves to tell the seniors that they had made a mistake.

Our solution turned out to be test results that were anonymous so that the designers didn't know whether the flaw was reported by someone in asia, a customer, or someone in the US. It wasn't a perfect solution but at least it got a quality feedback loop started.

My coworkers used to say that I missed my calling by being an engineer. I should have been the conductor because I enjoy telling people where to get off.
