Are You Kidding Me? A REAL Software Sweatshop!
So the term 'software sweatshop' is kind of satirical. It's just a response to the alarming amount of companies that are burned by their offshore vendors. In most cases, companies that look for cheap labor are the ones that go for these software sweatshops. A successful outsourcing engagement is based on a long-term relationship.
So I was checking my email (Gmail) the other day and came across this ad:

So naturally my curiousity was piqued. I own an offshore software development company and have a pretty good idea for salaries in different parts of the world. I also know how much someone needs to charge to actually hire and retain good developers. With that in mind, I thought this ad was a joke...
I went to the site and this is want I found. Needless to say, if you're considering offshore outsourcing, this is definitely one software sweatshop you need to boycott!
