A few jobs ago I had the CEO of the startup I worked at tell me that when he was meeting investors they'd question an engineer's competence if they showed up looking too well dressed.
I had a colleague, she eventually went to Google, who would hard pass candidates that showed up to an interview in a suit. I find that as stupid as dinging someone for not wearing a buttoned up shirt for the interview.
EDIT: I did tell her that was tremendously stupid and that they were just trying to show respect by dressing up.
