I've met my share of those.
But they're not engineers, regardless of what the diploma says. Most of them don't even like SF.
We called them job-hoppers; the moment they walked in the door they started trolling for the next open job elsewhere in the organization.
We had one team lead whose request for a computer wasn't a UNIX workstation like the other leads or even a PC like the managers, but a Mac. Only thing that came out of that office were powerpoint slides. In and out in three months.
Ended up doing community relations.
