I interviewed with Bridgewater as an internal referral. Most guys come in dress pants and a shirt, for girls it's a dress as opposed to a pantsuit. Their dress code is relaxed, the culture is anything but that.
PM me if you want some more info.

Fully formal. This indian kid from Brown showed up in business casual, no tie, was asked to leave almost immediately, but not before the interviewers called him out in front of everyone.
If you're unsure, dress business formal.
Go with business casual that doesn't make you look odd at the interview. You should also look professional. So plan your dress code and attire.
I'll always side with I'd rather be overdressed than underdressed, but your choice. I don't believe there should be any drawback being the best dressed person in the room.
They cannot choose to fault you for wearing a suit. Biz casual (or any sort of variant) can backfire.
This. Dude, wear a suit. You're going in for an interview. You don't have the job yet. My point is, it doesn't matter if the dress code at any firm is a fuckin speedo and a top hat. You don't work there yet. You have no right to wear anything else than what would be universally accepted. Or don't, your call. But as stated above, it can backfire.
I wore a polo shirt and khakis to my BW interview and my interviewer remarked how it was nice that I "got" BW's casual dress code. Then he made a comment about how formal many interviewees dress, implying they don't get the culture.
