San Diego Business Pulse
- Culture Professional, casual, and focused on biotech and innovation.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Like much of the US West Coast, the culture is casual-professional. Biotech and defense are major industries; expect technical competence to be highly valued. Punctuality is respected, even in a more relaxed atmosphere.
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.
