I'm sure there are plenty of folks who have wonderful experiences working for "foreign" firms in their home country. As I said, my knowledge is completely 2nd hand and the sample set is small. It is only natural for people to "favor", knowingly or not, co-workers or subordinates who are most like themselves though. Common backgrounds and shared experiences go a long way. Why do you think the top b-school alumni networks are so valuable? I have never worked overseas, but I suspect the pull toward the people "from home" is quite strong.
