Coordinating in Pacific Standard Time is really weird. Right now, the Pacific Time zone is on Daylight time, so they'd need to calculate a one-hour offset for everything, even in the main office. Coordinating on Pacific Time would be less weird. But, as I learned working at a company that's truly international, coordinating on UTC is better. Each employee only has to know the offset between their own time and UTC. They know when any local Daylight Saving laws shift them relative to UTC, and it's extremely easy to look it up if they forget. It's also extremely easy to look up the UTC offset anywhere you may travel. Picking Pacific Time, and specifically Pacific Standard Time, is a weird choice.
