Hi guys!
I am one of those Ukrainian writers from the writing companies you talk about.
Is company location and writer nationality is really important for you when you make an order?

I know that there are plenty of incompetent writers in such companies (because companies do not usually have strict criteria to hire the new writer. The procedure of determining if writer is competent can be a 2-pages essay in English in general topic. Thus, how can they appreciate writer's professional skills? And then, those writers are allowed to write in different fields, very unrelated. Are they really cyborgs? =) In addition, some companies use 3 MC questions of the school-level of difficulty in order to test the new writer. Great, isn't it?) However, it is not my aim for this message to tell about the companies. If you are interested in the information about their working and deception, feel free to contact me. I will tell you many interesting things, I guess.
Anyway, the aim of this message was to explain that some of the writers are really good and competent. It is a rare thing for such companies, however we still exist.
I am one of such writers that really care for the client and I have lots of positive feedbacks. I think that nationality of the writer does not reflect his skills in a particular field. Nowadays, person with high level of IQ and intelligence can use Internet to find the proper information. In addition, we still have perfect theoretical education. Thus, I think that Ukrainian writer who is really intelligent is not a bad choice =)
Of course, sometimes the quality of our works can fail to be the best. To tell you the truth, it is because of the companies. Do you know how much we get per page? One third or even one fifth from the price you pay for. It is usually about 4-8 dollars per page. Do you think we wish to do our best for such small compensation? English-speaking writers simply don't work for such low price because it is not money at all in their countries.
So, if I got some higher compensation I would provide better quality and if I could contact with the customer directly, not via manager, I would also be more productive. Working for the company makes me care only about the money I get. However, if I could work for the customer directly, I would care for the quality of work and would be praised by higher compensation.
Therefore, I have an idea of creating a web-site where you would be able to work with several highly-competent writers directly. Without any managers and operators. But still, we would be Ukrainian writers. However, we would care about the quality. What do you think about it? Is nationality is really important?
