Courtesy is courtesy no matter what field you're in. I've always sent a thank you note no matter what. They took time out of their schedule for me, it's the least I could do.
Here's two tips to help you:
1) You can never be too courteous.
2) There is nothing wrong with being the best dressed in the room.
(Note: I've never worn a suit to an interview, but still always try to dress nicely even if I know the company is a shorts/sandals/t-shirt kind of place. In those instances a nice pair of jeans and an ironed shirt usually work.)
- edge17 16y agoyea, same here. Though I don't disagree, I like to dress [well] in a way that suits my personality as well. Showing up in a suit to a startup does say something about you (not that that's bad, but it says something)
- cliffchang 16y agoThe rule of thumb to use in most interviewing situations, not just Software Engineering, is to dress one "degree" up from your interviewers. If you're being interviewed by jeans and a T-shirt, wear a dress shirt and slacks. If you're being interviewed by a dress shirt and slacks, you can't go wrong with a casual suit. If you're being interviewed by a formal suit, though, don't go busting out the tux :-p. That's the top level.
