I actually have found that if you are an engineer who displays well-rounded skills in multiple disciplines, like business acumen, communication, writing and conflict management, this causes managers and non-engineers around you to view you as a threat, and they will work harder to undermine you and try to box you into a “engineer only” label.
Above all, you won’t be rewarded for these other skills, despite how vital they are.
It has been this way at every job (7 companies now, ranging from huge & bureaucratic to medium & popular to super new start-up). Whether it has been at a major tech company or the latest & greatest start-up, people have universally acted this way everywhere, often while talking at length about how their company culture causes them to not act this way.
