Subject: RE: Lab Dress
I would have to disagree with your statements. I _have_ interviewed at
Cisco, and was glad I wore a tie because five out of the six people who
interviewed me were wearing ties. In fact, there is a dress code to some
degree, at least in some offices. I was told that if I was hired, when I was
meeting with a customer, I would be expected to wear a tie, unless I was
there to have my hands in the routers or installing equipment, etc. Maybe
San Jose is different -- I'm on my way there for the first time so I guess
I'll find out -- and maybe my experience is specific to the office in which
I interviewed, but I can't go along with a blanket statement that at Cisco
there'd no dress code and no one cares what you wear.
