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.
Rome Business Pulse
- Culture Formal but passionate. Relationships are built over coffee and long discussions.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM or 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM. Avoid the 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM lunch break. Italians value relationship building ("La Bella Figura"); always maintain a professional but warm and engaged tone. Business slows down significantly during the "Ferragosto" period in August.
