Lisbon Business Pulse
- Culture Relationship-based and relaxed. Business often starts with a coffee.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM or 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Portuguese business culture is highly relational; do not dive straight into the agenda. Spend time on personal greetings and building trust. Punctuality is valued in professional settings but can be slightly fluid.
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.
