Define failure rate

I may have had not develop enough. I am looking for companies that have hire expatriate in the last 5 years without or with an ineffective formation in order to succeed the expatriation. The failure will result in the prematurely end of the mission or if it is considered as ineffective by senior management.

According to a statistics I saw, around 50% of expat assignments end prematurely (and are thus usually deemed unsucessful in the eyes of the involved).
But nobody likes to admit failure, so you won't easily find companies willing to share such experiences with you.

By the way, impressive pathway!
