I have friends that worked for a company that a US company bought. They sent people from the "top brass" from the US to reform the company and implement an American work culture. This is Norway, so 90 percent of what they implemented was illegal.

The boss/employer culture is pretty different, too. If you set a meeting after 15.00 on a friday, people will call you an idiot to your face and refuse to attend - no matter your position in the company.

"The American dream" lasted only a few months after almost all of the developers quit and got new jobs within seconds. Last I've heard of that company was when they closed doors.
