And again, you can't make such general statements.
From my experience, international bankers from Europe are refined but rather haughty. Within Europe, England is different from Germany and Russia.
Bankers in the states are known for completely changing the industry through 120 hour work weeks and for bringing creativity into the environment.
And bankers from Asia are very attentive to detail to the point that they go back and check for spelling mistakes in prior deals that are already done.
You are trying to push forth these images that can't be done because you are making it seem as if all corporations can be melded as well as all countries on a continent.
On top of that since American companies recruit abroad, we have mixed workplaces filled with a variety of cultures.

But having worked in the HQ's of both the Canadian and American operations you do have an ability (I hope) to make comparisions or observations. Now if it was only myself making statements, or complaints, I would actually attribute the problem to a clash of personalities... but as I have said I have heard other making the same complaints (or observations).
I'm not saying that co-workers sit around all day making little jokes or jabs at others... it's just the little comments in meetings or at social functions; constant requests for advice, that when given goes un-heeded; or the repeated corrections that have to be made in regards to the Canadian market...
Again what I was wondering is have others noticed this at work or not... obviously they would either have to be working (at least sometime) abroad, or working for a large multi-national.
