About San Francisco

San Francisco is the cultural and commercial centre of the Bay Area, close to Silicon Valley and home to many technology companies, start-ups and venture capital firms. It is also known for the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, Alcatraz and its steep hills, and people around the world check its time to reach colleagues and clients in the tech sector.

The city runs on Pacific Time, UTC-8 in winter (PST) and UTC-7 in summer (PDT), when the clocks go forward. It shares its time with Los Angeles, Seattle and Vancouver. For European teams the window is tight: 9am in San Francisco is already late afternoon in London, so overlapping working hours are usually limited to the early Californian morning.
