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.
Stockholm Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-driven and egalitarian. Values sustainability and innovation.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Swedes value consensus and "Lagom" (just the right amount); avoid being overly boastful or pushy. Hierarchy is flat, and decision-making involves everyone. Do not schedule meetings over "Fika" (the essential coffee and cake break).
