- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Philadelphians are known for being direct and hardworking. The city is a major hub for healthcare, biotech, and research; technical expertise and clear, data-backed arguments are highly valued in professional discussions.
Zurich Business Pulse
- Culture Precise, formal, and highly efficient. Values quality and punctuality above all.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Punctuality in Switzerland is non-negotiable; being even one minute late is considered a serious lack of professionalism. Keep your discussion focused, data-driven, and highly organized. Avoid calling during the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
