Copenhagen Business Pulse
- Culture Flat hierarchy and very direct. Values design, green energy, and "Hygge".
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Danes are famously direct and value their family time; avoid calling after 4:30 PM. The culture is informal and egalitarian; do not worry about titles, but do worry about technical competence and honesty.
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.
