Nothing about the very positive experience I had there would lead me to believe otherwise.
However, the email says business attire, so that's what I did, and so did every other interviewee that was riding the shuttle to the hotel with me (around half dozen of us).
Had to break out my backup suit so that I wouldn't accidentally drop a Sbarro's on my interview suit.
Several guys travelled in khakis and a button-up shirt and all got the job. Day 1 was a mix of suits with no ties, slacks with dress shirts and no ties, and khakis and dress shirts with no ties. I don't think I saw anyone with a tie on day 1. Day 2 is interview suit and tie.
