1. When their software doesn't work...

their fix is to add more developers. After two years of missed milestones and no viable product, they move the development back onshore where a team will hunt through the spaghetti-code and fix the shit that was cobbled together over the past two years. I've seen this exact scenario play out more times than I care to count - yes, indeed.
