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.
Washington D.C. Business Pulse
- Culture Highly formal, networking-heavy, and influenced by government and policy.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Punctuality is non-negotiable. DC is a "Power City"; be prepared for very formal protocols and the use of professional or political titles. Networking is a 24/7 activity here, but business calls should stay within 9-6.
