Brazilian vs. American companies - Differences and what to expect
On Demand
The event
In this session, Neal Kemp breaks down what Brazilian engineers should expect when transitioning to roles at U.S.-based tech companies. From daily work habits to vacation policies, the session covers both the perks and the adjustments of going global.
What you'll learn
-
Cultural norms differ on and off the clock
American companies often expect a faster pace and more direct communication. Time zones, work hours, and “on-call” expectations may also feel different. -
Benefits and flexibility can vary widely
U.S. companies typically offer more flexible remote policies but less vacation time and fewer holidays than Brazilian employers. -
Adaptation is key to a smooth transition
Engineers moving into U.S. roles should prepare for a period of cultural adjustment—professionally and personally—but the growth opportunity is significant.
