Work Culture in USA
 
bullet  The American workplace may seem less hierarchical than the workplace in other countries. For instance you may be able to call your boss by her or his first name...but be careful!Your boss is still your boss and although relations may seem, this informality of friendliness is an American form of politeness only.
bullet Make sure to help coworkers if they request it, and don't be afraid to request help if you need it.
bullet In the United States, the work environment is both professional and causal as well. Don’t be surprised if you see people bring their pets to work! The work culture and dress code here are different than in India. Schedules are flexible, and the atmosphere is informal especially in software/ programming jobs.
bullet Time is very important, being on time means arriving 5 to 10 minutes earlier, especially at interviews and meetings. Getting the work done and getting to the point is generally the most important thing.
bullet It is acceptable practice in the US to discuss problems you are having at work with your supervisor. Express your desire to learn more , change of departments and fulfill higher goals. Sometimes, Americans are very open about the actions of employees that are seen as unsatisfactory. Do not be afraid to politely present your point of view or to admit a mistake. This is most of the time a chance to make things better, and not a prelude to being fired!
bullet American work culture involves a lot of meetings. These meetings need not deal with big decisions, but are more like discussions, and are centered on the analyzing, planning and review of any project. Opinions and ideas are shared, and objections are made.
bullet Water, aerated drinks, tea, coffee and vending machines are available at all offices
