Auckland Business Pulse
- Culture Relaxed, friendly, and professional. Values "kiwi ingenuity".
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. New Zealanders are friendly and informal ("Kiwi style") but expect a high level of professional integrity. Be very mindful of the time difference; early morning in NZ is late afternoon on the US West Coast. Avoid calling late on Friday.
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.
