Sounds like Microsoft with their SDETs. Most of them build crazily complicated frameworks because that might push them to SDE level, you know, the rockstar level.

If they failed, these SDETs will move to PM role.

I'm not saying all SDETs are like this, but join MS and you'll see quite a few of them.

Google probably have some too but lately I noticed that their approaches are different: instead of building a large automation frameworks, they build tools to help developers be more productive and produce less bugs even before the automation testing happens.
