But the constant job hopping among engineers can come at a cost: Higher expectations of productivity from the go. Less training. and similar. If you hire someone, knowing that they'll only stay for 1-2 years, you obviously want them to be as productive as possible for that time period. In traditional engineering firms, you'd probably spend the fist N months on training, and won't get to touch production in a long, long time. This culture kind of reinforces the "hire fast, fire fast" mantra that tech companies love.
