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.
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).
