This very question was asked and answered in some depth on the Microsoft recruiters blog. It wasn't too long ago (mainly I think it was around the guy who ended up joining the Channel 9 team and wore a rather cheeky t-shirt) and I think it was Gretchen who wrote the guideline. From (fading) memory it was along the lines of "You're showing respect by making an effort but if we really want you we're going to hear you no matter what you wear (using the C9 recruit as an example because what he'd worn was hardly what one would call "Business casual").

If you can't find it via Google let me know and I'll see if I can dig it out. You should probably read all the blogs going back over time anyway because there's lots of very good advice in there for anybody wanting to interview for Microsoft.


Thanks for pointing that out! I just found it at http://blogs.msdn.com/jobsblog/archive/2004/04/01/105933.aspx

Of course I was thrilled! However, when I asked about dress code (of course I read about the dress code in Microsoft College Interview Tips section), he said just business casual.

Now, I am more of respecting the company, so I might dress up (without a coat, just dress with a tie and slacks). However, the corporate culture within MS is much more laid back (like wearing a Kakis pants..etc).

How would you define business casual for interview at Microsoft? How many of you are for dressing up in suit (showing respect) vs dressing casual like a college student?

Thanks!

It is my assumption that people want to find the thing without browsing through too many pages of search result.

Google's "I feel lucky" is not exactly that great either. Still needs a lot of improvement, so I don't think MSN is truly on its losing battle against Google.
