In my world (software), Indian shops are known for promising things they can't deliver, and not telling you when the project is in trouble - so when you find out for yourself, it's already so completely off the rails that you're probably gonna have to kill it.
Taiwanese hardware makers really want to create something great, Chinese hardware makers want to push the project through as fast as possible to a satisfactory completion (or at least not bad enough you complain).
Chinese and Russian developers are some of the most impressive in the world, they're natural mathematicians.
Eastern Europeans are also quite competent and easy to work with.
Germans show up prepared better than anyone, but then they overthink everything to death and it all ends up like the Berlin airport.
Frenchmen only want to work on "interesting" activities, if what you're doing is boring they won't have the stomach for it, BUT, they think like battlefield commanders when it comes to surprises and curveballs. They're some of the best I've ever seen at keeping a project on rails.
I don't really have any experience working with Japanese or American developers.
