I don't know if I agree with that statement, engineers can be invested in, university programs etc. If a company is growing and expanding, they're going to need to draw on a lot of engineering and R&D talent.

While I'm sure the office did have some embedded R&D, alot of what telecom vendors do just requires software developers.
