First Day at Work
I've never worked at a local Hong Kong company before and I'm starting my new job in a few weeks' time.

Are there any customs or expectations I need to be aware of???

Government is different I would say. Pretty much any countries government has that benefit.

But, local companies? Lets not be afraid of the fact you work past 6. (Perhaps more multi nationals also leave at 6, but most locals don't)
