What's the expected dress code for the Google Mountain View office? I'm starting Monday and it's my first Bay Area job so I'm pretty ignorant of typical office trends around here.

For reference I typically dress minimalism style (neutral colors, no accessories, etc).

For those of you who are more visual...

Thanks in advance!

    Be fashionable and you’ll stand out, probably in a good way. Silicon Valley as a whole is very casual about dress code, though, unless you work in finance or business. Lots of engineers walk around in baggy cargo shorts, graphic tees, and dirty sandals, and then it seems like all of the older foreign engineers like to wear baggy dress shirts and slacks everyday with square toed dress shoes 🤮

    If you are a woman the rule of thumb is not to dress too too mini skirt etc. There was a lady in our department whos parfume smelled at the otherside of the floor. And she was exposing a bit too much. I wasnt really big fan of her. If you are a guy as long as your shoes are closed toe, and your clothes are tidy and clean and you are well groomed you are good to go. By the way i dont recommend shorts and flip flops are big no no. I think a simple well ironed shirt and pair of jeans looks just great. Being in good shape matters the most. I would not advice white sneakers as it ruins the look. As engineers we sometimes become less focused on the looks but i think its important just like having guests and feeling your home is nice and clean. You have to show the world you take good care of yourself so they can trust you more to care for the job and coworkers too. Congrats on your Google job. Thats funtastic.
