What he wears should not matter, except he has a dress code for people who come interview for a job at Facebook. So, he certainly deserves a ribbing for believing he is above his own rules.

> So, he certainly deserves a ribbing for believing he is above his own rules. Clearly, he is. I'd imagine most of his employees don't get to hop on the private jet whenever they feel like it, either.

I'm curious about where you came up with this assertion. I interviewed at FB and nobody told me what to wear.

  thats funny; they told me to come to the prom night and didnt mention a thing about what to dress, but still I haven't came naked. just because they havent told doesn't necessarily mean you shouldnt have your own sense as of what to wear to work. if that would be me, and not seeing anyone how they really look at work inside fb, i would came with suit and tie and figure things out the first day.

    If you would show up at Facebook wearing a suit and tie on your first day, they should probably fire you on the spot for being so utterly braindead as to not figure out any of their culture from your interview or from Internet research or from the "what's it like to work at Facebook" videos and pictures they have on their career site.

      Actually a person could be wellknown by wearing a suit to work at Facebook. After all when all the non-conformist looks differently the same way, you need to do something different to stand out.

    The commenter asserted that there was a dress code for interviewing at FB. And I have a pretty good sense of what to wear to work in the valley. Suit and tie is the wrong answer.

[Disclosure: I work at fb] There is no dress code for people who come to interview for a job at Facebook. I am curious, was something vaguely worded in an email you've received? Please let me know. I came in in jeans, t-shirt, and a sweat-shirt. This applies to all Silicon Valley companies: wear whatever you're comfortable interviewing in. One of the previous I worked for used to say "dress casually" (meaning "you don't need to wear a suit"), but we noticed that people have began to interpret it as "wear business casual" and have been reacting strangely.
