    If they ever have clients out on site, is it not reasonable to want to demonstrate a reasonably smart, professional workforce? I think making a fuss about not being able to wear jeans to work is pretty childish tbh...


    I would feel suspicious if all the coders were in suits it wouldn't seem quite right.

    I strongly suspect this company is SSE. I used to work for them in a field role.

    Ie: if a company focus so much on their appearance and how good they look in the company prospectuses/ on the figures, then the worse they are in reality?
    Is that the meassage here?

    Yes but I didn't mean appearances just as in, smart shirts and ties, but all those rules giving the appearance of efficiency, rather than the reality.
