Amsterdam Business Pulse
- 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.
Sydney Business Pulse
- Culture Relatively relaxed but professional. Early starts are common to maximize daylight.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Due to the significant time difference with Europe and the US, early mornings (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) are often dedicated to international syncs. For domestic calls, late mornings are best. Be mindful that many Australians start and end their day earlier than their Northern Hemisphere counterparts.
