Reykjavik Business Pulse

Culture Informal, egalitarian, and values innovation and work-life balance.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Icelandic business culture is very informal and flat; do not worry about titles. Efficiency and honesty are highly valued. Punctuality is appreciated but the vibe is relaxed. Avoid calling late in the afternoon or on weekends strictly.

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.
