Addis Ababa Business Pulse

Culture Diplomatic and growing rapidly. Home to the African Union.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Ethiopia uses its own unique 12-hour clock (counting from 6 AM as "Hour 1"); always clarify "European Time" or "GMT/UTC" when scheduling to avoid confusion. Business is polite, formal, and values personal trust.

San Francisco Business Pulse

Culture Innovation-focused and casual. Values disruption, speed, and technical excellence.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Expect a casual, tech-first vibe—informal language and dress are the norm. However, technical competence and speed are non-negotiable. Many in the Bay Area work non-traditional hours, but standard business times remain the safest bet.
