Mar 9, 2015 at 19:45 comment added CGCampbell Overdress and ask for the dress code of the team you will be on during the interview. This enables you to fit in with a severe dress code and show that you are able to dress down as well.
Mar 9, 2015 at 19:09 comment added Paŭlo Ebermann Our company (now about 800 employees in tech department, 8000 overall) has the motto "Wear sneakers, not ties". So you can come however you feel like. I guess it really depends on the company.

Mar 9, 2015 at 17:49 comment added Rob Church It's for this reason I always sent out a little guide for interviewees coming in that included the line "no suit necessary!".

Mar 9, 2015 at 14:46 comment added Cornstalks @tinkerbot: it depends on the company. I've worked at companies where people wearing a suit to the interview was actually seen as a negative: the interviewers felt they may not fit the company's/team's culture very well. In general, a good rule of thumb is to dress like their employees do (which is usually casual in most programming jobs, though some companies (like banks) might normally wear a suit).
Mar 9, 2015 at 13:43 comment added user33193 I interviewed for a tech company with roughly 15 employees - I still wore a suit.
