Lyon Business Pulse
- Culture Traditional but innovative. Values both industrial heritage and world-class gastronomy.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Never call between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM; the lunch break is strictly for dining and networking. Tuesday and Thursday mornings are typically the best for reaching senior leaders. Business culture is formal and values long-term personal trust.
Portland Business Pulse
- Culture Creative, informal, and values sustainability and technical excellence.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a very casual professional environment (informal dress is the norm). Punctuality is still important, but the vibe is collaborative and egalitarian. Many in Portland value their work-life balance, so avoid late evening calls.
