I work with a team that's distributed across the world. Most of us are in the US (split across the time zones), but a few in europe, and a few elsewhere as well. I've found it's not all that big of a deal, much less than I thought it would be. However if there are issues/questions that arise you have to handle them fast, as your overlap in a day is just a few hours if that. If the company has a hard time getting requirements out there, or the employee has an issue with getting 'stuck/blocked' all the time, then it's going to be a much bigger deal.
