- Culture Egalitarian, direct, and values work-life balance. Hierarchy is minimized.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. The Dutch are famously direct; be prepared for honest, blunt feedback. They value efficiency and a pragmatic approach. Respect the 9-5 work day; unless it's an emergency, do not call after hours as work-life balance is strictly protected.
Brussels Business Pulse
