- mytailorisrich 4y agoThe question is whether they can and, if so, whether it is beneficial to them. As hinted in my previous comment, I don't think they can and I am also not convinced that it would be beneficial to them if they could. They need good engineers. That is achieved through hiring and compensation policies. Then, it is also beneficial to retain and keep engineers up-to-date through a level of training as needed.
