Same here. That's why I wore a tshirt and jeans to the interview for my current job - also a convenient filter for what kind of company it is - if they don't want me wearing that every day, I didn't want that job.

I would always recommend asking up front - but if in doubt, I find it's better to start off smart and dress down later.

If in doubt, I'd reject the offer rather than end up somewhere with the expectation of a suit.

Maybe not in SV, but a lot of places are still business casual. Which means a sweater and nice pants.
