Berlin Business Pulse
- Culture Direct, efficient, and values privacy. Clear separation between work and personal life.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Germans value efficiency and direct communication; do not be offended by a lack of small talk. Respect the strict 9-5 (or 8-4) work day. Calling after 6:00 PM or on weekends is considered a major intrusion into private life.
San Diego Business Pulse
- Culture Professional, casual, and focused on biotech and innovation.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Like much of the US West Coast, the culture is casual-professional. Biotech and defense are major industries; expect technical competence to be highly valued. Punctuality is respected, even in a more relaxed atmosphere.
